I feel sorry for ya. You know baseball. You follow the Cardinals close enough to know all about Matheny. You KNOW how this ends.

How did people not see this coming? Dayton Moore lost whatever magic he had leading up to 2014-2015. If you could assign a batting average to managerial moves, Moore is probably a .200 hitter. He doesn't do anything particularly well and has struck out more often than not on moves he makes.

@BNightengale: It’s unknown whether Mike Matheny will be announced today as manager of the #Royals or after the Series.
@FlannyMLB: Per source, there is no scheduled announcement by the Royals today regarding their next manager. As we have reported in the past, all signs still point to Mike Matheny, but nothing officially is scheduled. |

I'm going to at least give the guy a chance. I know everyone HATED the hiring of Ned and we ended up getting "Yosted" in the greatest way possible. Maybe lightning can strike twice.

Remember: It is stupid to hire some stubborn, gritty ex-catcher “gamer” who hates analytics. Who was fired by an NL Central franchise who’s replacement manager took his players to the playoffs. It can’t work again....right? |

PB - take a stance, bro.
Go on the record. Do you want Matheny or not? What's driving your defense of him if you're ambivalent about the hire? |

He spent 3 years lecturing Cardinals fans about what spoiled assclowns they were for criticizing Matheny due to his record or some other such nonsense. Now he has to double down on it. Have fun with this guy, PB - he's yours now. I'm sure you'll love him.

And so began his career as a coach. Guy just finished the season and said "welp, guess I'm not all that good at this" (though I think he'd get a longer look today given his OBP skills) and decided on his own to learn spanish and coach summer ball. Just a hell of a story to get into the coaching ranks. He's a risk, for sure. But at least he's an interesting one. I'll be rooting for him for sure.

I’m firmly in the SABR camp. Billy Beane used to say a manager is nothing more than a “production manager on a factory floor”. Blame me if the A’s stink. I don’t know anything about aby of the candidates anyway. I do know Moore let the farm system degrade which he HAD to obsess about as it’s the lifeblood or tiny markets. Bad trades, bad signings, happen - bad farm systems can’t in KC. We are gonna suck hard 3+ more years and the manager won’t prevent that. It will be on Dayton. |
