I understand all that... but this is about Maddon leaving Trout in with a big lead and Minasian calling the dugout to tell him to take him out. It's not the same thing as Maddon going against the overall plan or philosophy. Him not seeing eye to eye with what Minasian wanted the team to do is what got him fired. He deserved to get fired. Again, I'm glad he's gone. I can't stand Maddon.
If Minasian got to the point where he felt he had to call the dugout to instruct Maddon on how to run the team - he probably waited too freakin' long to fire him. He should have done it sooner. Once he made that call, there was no going back.
