I only know of one who should be fired at this time.

Marginal players do not slump. The results are due to marginal players on the roster which is Minasian's fault. If results matter, why does Minasian still have a job?

.1 This is probably a generational difference. The Mariner "incident" was more common when I played than it is now. Mike Trout had numerous pitches thrown way too inside after his single man wrecking crew series with the Mariners. Nevin did exactly what I learned to do when playing the game and I see nothing wrong with it. I subscribe to the Nolan Ryan approach to pitching, he said that half of home plate was his and the other half was the hitters'. The hitter never knew which half Nolan would take with each pitch. 2. His roster is garbage. That means his players are inconsistent, unreliable and can not be counted on to make smart baseball plays every time. That is not on Nevin, that is on Minasian. I am not advocating for Nevin. I am disagreeing with the simplistic conclusion that replacing Nevin somehow makes the Angels a better team.

Help me understand why Nevin is such a bad manager? I don't think we know anything about Nevin except that he can successfully manage a clubhouse when everything seems to be going wrong. He has one of the worst rosters to work with, a GM who is lost, hardly any helpful scouting, limited options and inconsistent production by players who should be carrying the team. How does any of this suggest that Nevin is bad?

As if Nevin wants to continue floating in the flaming dumpster called the Angels.

Minasian putting in the work behind the scenes.

If the Ray's pitcher doesn't set a strike out record today, he failed.

Looks like the Angels are doing a three player attack against the Rays. Interesting approach.

Thank you COVID vaccine for doing something Minasian or Nevin can't do!

Thanks Perry for another great find!

Barria has been solid all season. He actually gave up no earned runs, which means his defense let him and the Angels down. You also chose to ignore the 6-9 hitters who collectively went 0-15 with 10 strikeouts and 10 left on base. But yeah, I guess in your mind this loss is on Barria.

The short answer is because the GM is a friggin idiot way over his skis.

Sounds like you should spend some time in batting cage.

Fuck off Minasian.

Its actually a good game.

Yeah, I am really looking forward to who Minasian picks as the manager since he has done such a terrific job with players.

Walsh fighting back from a 2-0 count. Atta boy!!

Walsh in to finish the inning.....what a bad roster.

Stassi just needed to put the ball in play. Like clockwork, he fucked it up.

I am not clear whether Moreno is actually selling or exploring his options. Am I missing something? There is nothing suggesting that anything is happening.

This makes me very uncomfortable.

It will be handled in the same manner as everything else. Lots of words.

Makes sense. Thanks.

Why does Nevin hate winning?
