At several points last year I almost jumped on the "Fire Scioscia" bandwagon. Im still not there quite yet, but heres what it all comes down to: This team cant go 8-15 again without someone getting fired.
I dont know that Scioscia deserves to be fired. The team is hitting .276/.347/.430/.777 overall, even with Hamilton sucking and Trout doing very little so far. Thats not bad. But our team ERA is 5.23 and WHIP is 1.42. Both of those numbers are pretty damn horrible. But worst of all? 15 HRs given up in 72.1 innings.
15 (fifteen)!
Were averaging almost 2 HRs given up per game. If this team gets anywhere near 8-15, the guy who should be fired first is Butcher. If things dont improve after that, then think about Scioscia, imo.
