[fan_since79]

Wei-Yin Chen was removed from the game after 7 no-hit innings, but the combined no-hitter is still in force.

Bottom of the 9th coming up. 5-0 Miami

Not anymore. With one out in the 9, reliever gave up a double. 

[fan_since79]

Haniger doubles!

I jinxed it...

Once again, JD is working his magic

Can't wait to see how many high floor players dot the M's farm two years from now.

2020: New GM acquired.. lol Eppler was such a shit manager. So glad we have this new one. Things are going to be different!

It isn't Eppler's fault yet.  But he should get credit for guys like Marte, JC Ramirez and the recent drafts.  Eppler inherited a mess, Dipoto inherited a pretty damn good team.

nope.

Oh ok.  Cool story Poozy.  Just like Dipoto should get credit for the Street trade, the Grilli trade and the Grienke trade, all good trades considering where we were at as a team, what we gave up and what we got.

You missed my point. The previous GM will always be the AW.com scapegoat.

[Stradling]

Because we as fans are stupid and want easy answers to difficult questions.  Or we want to blame someone, when it isn't one person's fault.

Yeah, except that wasn't my narrative when they hired JD (I didn't think he inherited a bad situation and openly said it during his tenure), and it certainly wasn't the case when Epp took over.  Most people were still bemoaning his loss and blaming MS for his departure.  I think you're right and there is more of that going on now -- but, he was still very much the golden child until very recently.   Honestly in my lifetime as an Angels fan I've never seen a GM get as much of a free pass as JD got.  Arte, MS...  Reagins..  the list of "scapegoats" was pretty long.

Also..  did Stoneman get blamed for anything while Reagins was here?

Well we got our only ring with Stoneman and he was pretty successful. Definitely a different situation.

No doubt he was a good GM -- but was there ever a more boring GM in MLB during his time in Anaheim?   I don't think we have ever seen anyone more tight lipped or vague when he actually did say something.

[totdprods]

Eppler is just as tight-lipped and vague as Stoneman was.
