From the inside

While #Dbacks mgr Chip Hale was talking to reporters TLR came over, asked him to sign a hat. 1st mgr he hired & wanted it for his office.

#Dbacks Chip Hale was 2-for-7 with two walks against GM Stewart. Stew shouldn't feel bad. Hale was 6-12 against Clemens, 5-16 against Cone.

Not sure if I have ever had a coach who has as much passion for baseball as Chip Hale… Love the hire by @Dbacks

Hale made the A's daily Spring Training schedule, and took it extremely seriously. He said he would get up at 4 AM most days. #Dbacks

The @Dbacks hired the villain from Kick-Ass to be their manager? Can we land Hit-Girl as hitting coach? @ChloeGMoretz pic.twitter.com/y24ywbVTop

we can only dream that Chip Hale will hire Rodney McCray to be his outfield and base running coach for the @Dbacks.

"@Dbacks: "There wasn't a box he didn't have checked." -Tony La Russa, on Chip Hale @JimmyNova "not Kirk Gibson" - CHECK! You're hired.

Wonder if @ghansen711 will hate the #Dbacks less now that they hired his buddy Chip Hale

— Phil Lacovara (@placovara) October 13, 2014

But not everyone was pleased...

@AZSnakepit WTF @Dbacks? Really? Why not Phil Nevin. Come on. Not sure how I feel about this. I'll give it 2 years to see if this was right

Who the hell is Chip Hale? I don't trust this man. He's not Gibby.
