I am not one to have a knee-jerk reaction and start calling for people to be fired after a stretch of bad games. However, given the past 5-6 years and after the disaster that was last season and this season looking to end even worse, combined with the talent and payroll of this team, how is Scioscia still managing here? I cant think of another sport a coach/manager would be kept on this long with his very talented and very expensive team performing so pathetically. Its not like baseball runs on a complicated system of plays like football or basketball where you would have to worry about players learning a new offense or defense etc...Is Artie so tight with Scioscia that he can bring himself to fire him and bring in someone else? Lets just let the whole team go down and shrug it off. Pretty ridiculous.
