The study demonstrating that a random number generator would've yielded better bullpen management than Matheny. The demonstrations of how immediately the teams defensive runs saved and baserunning runs scored improved when he was jettisoned. The quotes provided from members of the team demonstrating fissures in the clubhouse due to Matheny playing favorite. Yes, there's been plenty of evidence. You just plugged your ears to it and, in typical Matheny fashion, just figured that hoping harder would get the job done. But hey - enjoy him. He's clearly great at this. You sound like that idiot Cubs fan that was telling Cardinals fans they were biased and not to be trusted when they signed Heyward. I mean hell, what would we know? We only saw it firsthand... Just keep telling yourself that it was those mean ol' unreasonable Cardinals fans that unfairly besmirched Mikey Dreamboat. Surely he's not just awful at his job.

Yeah, the best thing that can happen for a Royals pitcher is to avoid Matheny's circle of trust. Watching him use Barlow for 2 innings on opening day gave me flashbacks to...well, pick a guy really. But I will always maintain that the best example was Jordan Walden. From April 10 to April 24 he appeared in 10 games. So for the first 2 weeks of the season he was pitching 5 times/wk. Would you be surprised to learn that he pitched 1 more game and then never again after that? Relievers are inherently volatile and injury prone, don't get me wrong. I don't hold him responsible for all of their injuries. But watching him grind Kevin Siegrist into a fine powder or seeing Matt Bowman get the call and pitch so obviously in pain that he probably should've tried throwing lefty - the guy's just an idiot.

I follow 'woulditdong' on Twitter and it tells you anytime there's a barrel and how many stadiums it would've gone out of. I've seen several "29 out of 30s" hit that feed that say Kaufmann is the exception.

I still contend that those teams were Yost-proof. Can't make pen decisions? Pack it with amazing arms. Can't set a lineup? Give him a lineup that is 1-9 (and the fool still had Escobar at the top every damn day).

Absolutely. Ned was horrible. Tactically and strategically worse than Matheny as far as in game decisions. Mathenys is more of a systemic problem and he wears your team out so arguably worse overall still. At least Yost knew the personalities and how to develop players.

There is much debate on what value a manager really has. I’m of the Billy Beane camp, who said they’re essentially production line managers. The “head of HR” (ie GM) is the root cause of everything |

Nice, literally just gave them a run to tie the game. In 4 batters no one has had to put the ball into play and they tie the game.......lovely

Arizona put turf down because the grass kept dying but they chose turf that looks like its dying grass
