  1. Minasian had the chance last year to put “his guy” in. And he has that chance again over the next couple of days…doesn’t he? Why wouldn’t he want “his guy?” Minasians job is on the line, too. An interim manager who goes 46-60 morphs into “The second coming of Christ?” Pleeeeeease…. It’s not our decision. Let’s see what he does. He doubled down….will he triple down? You’d like to see the ball club play at least .500 ball ….JUST LIKE ME. It shouldn’t take EIGHT YEARS….should it? I’m a fan. That’s all. I have no skin in the game. But I can connect the dots. Nevin has basically had 1 and 2/3rds seasons to show “something” ….and I’m not seeing it. Are you? Really? Unless all along he’s been Minasian’s boy….. Let’s leave this up to the powers that be. Sometimes you’ve just “gotta trust the experts”
  2. Case is closed. No manager worth a damn would sign a one-year deal. Are you rescinding that statement? And if they extend him….it’ll be for another one year deal. So that will be two times a manager who isn’t worth a damn signed a one-year deal.
  3. Well….to use your words “no manager worth a damn is taking a one-year deal” Exactly my point. How long was the contract Nevin signed? one year …huh?
  4. It took Baltimore three years to turn a dumpster fire into the AL East champs….arguably the toughest division in baseball. They did this with one of, if not the lowest payrolls in baseball. It’s been what? EIGHT YEARS? It shouldn’t take close to a decade to play over .500 ball. Should it? You think he’s got them on the right track? Really? Playing .500 ball I still say Minasian hand picked his ass. He had all kinds of time last year at the end of the season to interview. Did he even interview anyone? If he didn’t …then that was his guy. Nevin got an extension on the last day of the season of 2022. Don’t tell me “Minassin had to extend him” or “because the team was up for sale” or blah blah blah. Ohtani was healthy….Trout was due back. Things were looking bright at the end of last season for 2023. Weren’t they? As bad as we’ve been….managing the 2023 Angel squad was a very very attractive job at the end of last season. Even if the team was sold….if the manager had the needle pointing in the right direction new ownership would probably give the manager a nod of approval and a “show me” one year deal. Minasian still had two years on HIS contract….and he still had a responsibility regardless of who owned the team to do “what was best for the team” So he extended Nevin You get what you pay for…. It’s been Eight Years since the team has played .500 ball. I’m not even asking for a playoff spot. Is .500 ball too much to ask for? Why don’t you give Nevin ten years for 100 million? There’s ball clubs out there lined up outside the door to acquire his services I get it….he’s “just a few years away” right? You’re drinking the kool-ade dude…
  5. Is this something new? A Manager who “will tell you if you’re doing bad and will tell you if you’re doing good” Is this something that literally no other big league manager would do? You’re kidding me…right Detmers?
  6. Perry has had his hand-picked manager. Nevin. It didn’t work out. Nevin gets fired by the Yankees and ends up out here ….Madden gets blown out and Nevin acts like he just won “The Clearinghouse Sweepstakes” as the new manager of the Angels calls his pal Brett Boone crying on the phone “OMG they’ve selected me! I can’t believe it!” it’s long overdue to move on …. You “friends of Phil” need to let it go. It didn’t work out. No “fan” of the ball club would defend this guy. family or drinking buds….yeah probably….. Players aren’t gonna talk any trash about him or they’re gonna be out of a job. So take whatever the players say with a grain of salt. Last I checked this is a results oriented business. You’re a manager and get dealt lemons….you find a way to turn it into lemonade. I’m sure he’s a wonderful guy. But it hasn’t worked out.
  7. Or maybe get George’s father….Frank Constanza. Basically what I’m just sayin is anybody but Nevin would be an upgrade.
  8. I’d rather see George Costanza manage the Angels than Phil Nevin.
  9. Did the Angels make the decision to place him on the IL or did Ohtani say “put me on the IL” ???
  10. Don’t get me wrong….I love Ohtani…. However ….the tail is definitely wagging the dog. Teammates won’t openly voice it….but more than a few are most likely saying to themselves “WTF?”
  11. Nevin acknowledged that all of this drama surrounding Ohtani’s sore oblique is frustrating and confusing for fans. “I know fans come to see him, especially when we’re at home,” Nevin said. “I get that frustration. Absolutely.” What about the frustration of getting our asses kicked every year? I guess that’s not on the menu. Take a look at the Red Sox, who recently fired Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom and what they had to say about their situation in Boston. "The decision was not made lightly or easily," team president and CEO Sam Kennedy read from a prepared statement before his news conference. "We all know where we are in the standings. It's a painful reality that fans feel as deeply as we do. Our fans deserve a winning, competitive team that consistently plays postseason baseball." "It's hard to say it's not related to results because that's what this is all about," Kennedy said. "We're aiming for World Series championships. That's it. That's the aim, that's the goal. We're here to win World Series championships. While we're here, we're not going to waste this opportunity. That's what the Boston Red Sox are all about." This is a far cry from what Nevin seems to “get.” And Minassian. Not even a mention about the teams record. No apologies to the fans for the product the Angels have put on the field. Cry me a river about the injuries. Whatever. Can you see the differences between these two organizations and what is acceptable and what is unacceptable? As I write this, the Red Sox are 74-72 and heads are already starting to roll.
