I kind of chuckled when you all hired Matheny but as I've seen more games and heard him more I'm starting to belive he's going to be a good manager, if he isn't already. I knew he was a bright guy... didn't laugh because of that... just seemed like quite a leap going from TLR to a guy with no experience. Plus losing Pujols... just figured Matheny would be in over his head. He doesn't appear to be. I like his cool, collected style/personality.
