I think as long as you have some experience and understand the mechanics of the game, you can manage a major league team. Key is handling the clubhouse personalities and managing people.

Even in the nAtional League, the strategic levers aren’t that complicated.

Matheny was bad at the latter and also stupid/old school about he former. Which is how he took the Porsche he inherited and wrapped it around a light pole.

My personal preference would be hire from outside the organization to bring in a different view or perspective.

We will throw in some Primanti Bros.

CBS is trying to tell me Dusty Baker is a potential candidate.

They're joking, correct?

I seen him and John Farrell on a couple of lists as well. Dusty has failed everywhere. I don't know much about Farrell.

Hey, at least you could count on Baker playing your SP and not going to the pen. Could be a good match.

yeah I’m not very keen on hiring another manager with no experience managing at any level. Unless Yadi wants to retire immediately and take the manager job.

His name makes him sound like a double amputee with syphilis.

There is some deep wisdom in this post. Modern day managers main job is clubhouse and player management. When to pull a pitcher, bunt etc is pretty close in all managers except for our former lame ass Manager.

Ran a Porsche into a tree indeed.

Jesus, how many Porsche's did you give the guy?

"The secret of managing is to keep the guys who hate you away from the guys who are undecided."

Well played sir

Bader’s hurt so now we get to see more Pham. Awesome!!

I almost forgot - now that asshat has been fired I'm no longer on strike. Watching the game now. At least for the moment, they're winning.

Just swept the Brewers in five games!!!
