Macha Fired in Oakland.....again
Per ESPN.
How about that?
Re: Macha Fired in Oakland.....again
Whoa. Maybe I've been out of the loop but I really didn't see that coming.

and yet Narron still stays.

I think it was more on how he ran the clubhouse and his relationship with players and management than it was on how their season went...
Re: Macha Fired in Oakland.....again
Wow. That came out of nowhere. I had not even heard a rumor that he was in danger out losing his job.

All about expectations. We weren't expected to contend or be even close to 500, the A's were expected to do alot, and the GM and owners felt they didn't do as much as they should.
Macha might look good in Red.

Especially when the Yanks (aka George) do not fire Joe Torre for ONLY making it to the ALDS! ;)
Re: Macha Fired in Oakland.....again
they were talking about it today on coldpizza, but I didn't think anything would be decided this early

The A's kicked the snot out of the Twins, they just ran into the Tigers at the wrong time. Who ever wins the NLCS is probably going to get steamrolled by Detroit.
If the firing wasn't performance related I would think it would have come earlier in the season.
Re: Macha Fired in Oakland.....again
A few of the A's blogs out there seem to suggest that Macha had zero communication between himself and his players, and that this was a long time coming.
I would think this is more of a communication breakdown issue rather than a performance related firing.

If they made it all the way to the ALCS then how important really is communication?

But using that logic can't the A's make it without Macha?
I'd take him though. I'd take anyone available right now over Narron, really.
