Angels 1961

Problem is Arte Moreno fancies himself baseball knowledgeable.

Not based on the past 8 seasons, he isn’t.

I’d like to think that he is listening to Minasian, since they didn’t sign Turner.  But who knows with Moreno.

Instead, he signed Tyler Anderson, Carlos E, traded for Renfroe and traded what little halos had on farm at trade deadline.

Nothing will happen until Arte decides to sell team or not. If he is selling GM and manager stay until new owners come in. Who knows Arte may already have a buyer.

And I would put Scioscia #1, Mauch #2, Fregosi #3, and then probably Rigney for longevity.

For the worst managers it's a lot longer list, But Ausmus and Nevin would be in the top 5 worst managers.

Fregosi was a horrible manager. He only lasted little over 3 years. 1980 had Rod Carew, Bobby Grich, Joe Rudi, Brian Downung, Don Baylor among others. His record was 65 and 95. Gene Mauch cost halos in 86 playoffs vs Boston. Brings in Loup (Lucas) with 2 outs top of 9. Follows that up with  Estevez (Donnie Moore)

He's the best manager in club history. No debate.

Mauch is a good 2nd place. Rigney is not even 3rd. 

I was there in 61 and 62 when he took an expansion team to more wins then anyone thought. I saw how he used his pitching staff. Scioscia had bunch of all stars. Gene Mauch all the players Gene Autry got him and he could never win it. Mauch blew 3 to 1 lead against Boston in 86. Look at how Rigney used his pitchers in 62 just amazing. 

Scioscia was a very good manager. He was very close to being number one but just a little behind Bill Rigney.

I hope they both get fired and Arte sells the team as another person stated as long as Arte still has the team, it doesn’t matter who they have as general manager and manager 

If Arte decides to sell this off season nobody will be fired.

I hope Angels sign Fulmer to a minor league deal. Sign Lorenzen and Robert Stephenson this off season.

Sad when pitcher of year is Estevez

He was a first round pick, not a "number 1" pick.

OK TY as I said you add lot of information to AW. 

Nice outing by Fulmer. I hope they bring him back on minor league deal. Former number 1 pick took ball on Monday after 70 pitches on Sunday.

Ohtani in dugout today. He cleaned out his locker few weeks ago, so does he dress at home?

6-6

TY so over 10% of A's wins against halos.

Angel record vs Oakland this year is?

Angels finish season as they started it. Losing to worse team in baseball. I hope Fulmer pitches good game could be big for him.

From our own BTH:

 

If Nevin survives next 48 hours he should be safe. I hope they keep him as he has been around the young players for a while. I cannot see halos being a playoff team next year.

*NOTE THE NOON START TIME*

Last game of the season!  Kind of bummed not to see Schanuel in there.

Thanks for the information you give out. 

Arte should offer free parking for Sunday's game.

Many growing pains with young players. Give them a couple of years.

He's actually pretty good.

But yeah.

So was Susan

Phil Nevin has been around most of these young players for over year and half now. I think he knows them pretty well and I hope he gets to stick around to further their development.

111 and counting. We're going to sweep them and miss out on a top draft pick.

Perry always finds help in his picks. 

I like this young team. Growing pains will continue in 2024 but let these young players grow together. I hope Nevin is back changing managers at this point makes no sense. Phil knows these young players and will help them get better.
