HEY A CHANCE FOR A MINI BUNT RANT!

 

Did you guys know that with a runner on first and NO outs, the team has a better chance to score a run in the inning than with a runner at second and ONE out? Yup...the common sac bunt actually gives a team LESS of a chance to score.

What if Casey McGehee is the batter though?

 

 

The way some people talk about Edwin Rodriguez on here is worse than anything that's ever been said about Kike Hernandez.

 

 

What if Casey McGehee is the batter though?

 

He'd bunt into a double play.

Professionally.

Then Mattingly has already failed as manager, regardless of the bunt call.

 

 

I'm sure its been said but I don't support this hire until he trims those sideburns.

 

 

Ahhh yes.. can definitely count on Admin.

 

But I've hit 9 home runs today!

I annoy friends with my Simpsons references.

 

 

Here's a thought: Mattingly left the Dodgers in part because he didn't want to work for a regime/GM that didn't hire him. He is keen on the Marlins job. Does that mean that Loria told him that he (Loria) isn't going to sell the team any time soon?

I think he probably just wants autonomy. He was essentially told he'd be controlled in LA, so he wasn't having any of it. It was probably Friedman's way of politely telling Mattingly that their philosophies don't align and so they should part ways.

 

 

Marlins’ Managerial Search Focused On Mattingly

 

 

• Mattingly’s interview went well, tweets Frisaro, who says it may simply be time for the sides to talk numbers and work out the terms of employment. Bowa, meanwhile, appears to be out of the running after agreeing to return as the Phillies’ bench coach.
   
  

 

 

Won't have to see Bowa's face I guess

 

 

Mattingly's gonna hire Edwin Rodriguez in place of Admin Bowa

 

 

Won't have to see Bowa's face I guess

 

thank you thank you thank you

 

 

 

 

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said he is “confident that Don Mattingly is going to be a World Series champion manager” and praised how he handled interaction with players.

 

"Nothing was ever done in a group setting," Ellis said.

 

“It was always one on one, which is the way I think it should be done. Nobody wants to be embarrassed or called out in front of teammates. He would have a coach grab someone and have them come to his office. He'd hash it out there and have a conversation.”

 

Mattingly received high marks for how he handled players.

 

"I think he had a good sense of when to approach players, not just when to do it, if to do it all," General Manager Farhan Zaidi told The Times. "But also the timing, when to let things calm down for a day or two before approaching guys. Knowing when to push buttons and when to let things go.”

"Being the manager of a major league baseball team, a lot of times people focus on the Xs and Os, but the players are people and individuals. Just like in any business, when you're a manager you have to know how to manage egos and personalities. And I think that's a big part of this job."

 

The Times said that Mattingly was receptive to analytics --- something the Marlins are placing more emphasis on.

The last time The Simpsons was funny was also the last time you had sexual relations with a laydeeeeee.....

 

 

Just heard the interview Don gave on the Dan Patrick show...  

 

Now that Donny's the new manager (probably announced the week following the World Series), what do you think he'll make a priority

Raised the Marlins payroll to 250K to match the Doggies

Come on man, Simpsons was funny at one time.

so using that logic, never?

I already used that and it was self depreciation so it was better

Nah. The Simpsons did use to be funny. I can't remember the last time I laughed at an episode though.

 

 

Apparently Mattingly was interviewed yesterday by Dan Patrick...

 

When asked if any other teams have interviewed him yet...

 

The one team I have interviewed with has been Florida.

 

Forget it... if he doesn't know the team is now the Miami Marlins and not Florida, he's not the right guy.

 

Also, to add to the stupidity... Patrick asked him this question...

 

After wearing iconic Dodgers and Yankees uniforms, could you really wear Marlins’ teal?

 

...umm... it's been over four years since we've worn teal.

 

It's funny but in a way, it's so not. Both guys should know better than that. Have a little integrity on the subject you're discussing.

 

 

Jesus...
