Would you fire Don Mattingly if the Dodgers don't make it to the world series?

his staff is just as bad. McGwire worst hitting coach in league and Honeycutt has never groomed a single pitcher within the organization.

Donny sucks which still has me scratching my head it's not that hard to be a good baseball manager but Donny has bad luck Ryu going down ....billingsley never coming back ...joc can't hit to save his life after looking like the NL rookie of the year the first half ,puig has lost his power bullpen is suspect as hell. Now the whole team is back on the dodgers "we can't score more than a few runs a game" bs. Fire him an d bring in who though?

I don't know ....I just got word that eithier undressed him in the dugout...didn't puig show up late to bp in these playoffs. He should probably go but who do you bring in ...the team is soft who fixes that ...they have no fire or heart ...they're LA the halos have fire so what gives?

...or the next year? Such a large payroll with top pitchers, veterans, and strong line up. How could you lose to the Cardinals using your best starters? What would you do?

The Dodgers are not that good. 2 solid Aces and a bat or 2, but nothing scary good about that team. I don't blame Mattingly.

Something to keep in mind, he led an expensive line-up as victims to a no-hitter against Astros pitching. They've giving Donny the best line-up and pitching staff in the league. What else do you want?

Best lineup and pitching staff? Are you on crack.

Dodgers had the best 1-2 pitching combo, but that lineup is chalked with over the hill losers.

Rollins, Crawford, Ethier, Etc...

You Dodger homers are delusional.

They didn't start, they only pinch hit. Ethier was in the line-up, but he was a key bat in the lineup.
Either way, I'm no dodger fan. Ask Mayan that. I just thought they had a good chance this year, lol.

The bullpen is atrocious. If they weren't hitting home runs they weren't scoring. Kershaw and Greinke can't hold teams to 1-2 runs every game pitched. Why was Mattingly starting Grandal who was 4 for 84? Hell of a baseball player.....terrible as a manager. Better manager takes them deeper.

the garbage front office needs to go. garbage pitching acquisitions and bust trades.

JMobile · 10-22-15, 05:15 PM

Well, no need to have Donny fired as he parted ways today.

jjgold · 10-22-15, 05:38 PM

He unofficially got fired

JIBBBY · 10-22-15, 06:18 PM

I don't think the Dodgers should have fired him.. They ran into a Mets buzz saw.. Dodgers had the Mets on the ropes too.. Final game at Dodgers.. Players came up short not the manager IMO..
