Who Is Really Making The Decisions?

Fire the manager discussions are common place in American sports. But when the discussion hits close to home, in this case the Dodgers, one has to wonder what people are thinking. Or are fans just being fanatics?
John Ireland of KSPN Radio here in Los Angeles posed a question to his callers Thursday, asking for reasons to fire Don Mattingly and/or Mike Sciossia. His take on the matter was, in effect, we as fans shouldn’t be sold on the fact that Mattingly is actually making the decisions or calling the shots from the dugout. He related the “higher ups” were making the calls as was done to Billy Beane in the movie “Moneyball”.
