Dodgers Fire Bench Coach & Advanced Scout

The plot thickens now

Dodgers may be tipping their hand regarding Mattingly.

 

[RoboticDreams]

Seems obvious what they're doing here.

I hear the Jaws theme...

I trust Stan Kasten. Hopefully, he will select the manager he wants. Colletti shouldn't have any say.

If Mattingly stays, I hope he learns from his mistakes. He's still a "young" manager. I love the way he can handle the players, but some of the strategic decisions he makes make me want to run through a wall.

If removing Hillman means that the Dodgers will bring in a more forward-thinking bench coach who can help Mattingly make better in-game decisions, then I'm all for it. I've never really thought much of Hillman, but then who gives a shit about bench coaches anyways?

They fired Mattingly's right hand man, this could be a sign that the Dodgers might just part ways with him. Whatever the case may be one thing is for sure they are cleaning house

Head Trainer = Bye Bye

Bench Coach = Bye Bye

Advance Scout = Bye Bye

Manager = ?? ( My guess is his out )

If they were going to fire Mattingly, why would they be waiting? My guess is they are happy with Mattingly except for his on-field decisions, and that's why they are bringing in a new bench coach. I expect that bench coach will be well experienced and somewhat outspoken so he can keep Don on the straight and narrow with in-game decisions. That's why I think it could be Baker.

I think when Don gets back from Indiana, he and Colletti and Kasten will sit down and talk about the future. They will make him an offer, and Don will either accept it, or reject it and look for another job. We should know the outcome before too much longer.

I'm hoping Don will continue as manager, because the alternatives are either a reject manager from another team or someone with no experience.

Decide, already! It's time for Dodgers to make call on Don Mattingly's future as Los Angeles manager - MLB News | FOX Sports on MSN

Falsone didn't get fired and she was with the organization before Mattingly was.

My gut tells me Falsone was asked to leave.
