I think he's an excellent manager in between games and wish the Marlins would create a new position where Mattingly could still be the leader but someone else makes the in game decisions.

I think he's an excellent manager in between games and wish the Marlins would create a new position where Mattingly could still be the leader but someone else makes the in game decisions. I say this as your friend -- not trying to attack you or anything. But there are times you complain about Donnie's decisions that are just knee jerk reactions, such as complaining about not bringing in (let's say) Yimi in a clutch spot when he's already pitched 2 days in a row. I only bring this up because I got family that roots for a variety of teams, including some with Manager of the Year credentials, and all they do is complain about their managers. So either all the great managers out there are actually very obviously terrible, OR we're a bunch of folks sitting in the distance, criticizing managers with only a shred of the information and experience those managers have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I tend to agree with you about Mattinglys in-game stuff, allow me to play devils advocate for a second. We’ve seen that this regime takes a collective approach to just about everything, including personnel decisions in the front office. What if some of the bullpen/lineup decisions are being made primarily by the staff/FO as a group? Being discussed beforehand, where Donny is simply the guy on the field. Obviously Mattingly would have a say in this, but I don’t get the feeling that every on-field move is made exclusively by Donnie. Addendum: I bring this up as I’ve seen a lot of analytic driven decisions being made over the last year or so. You have even heard them mentioned in some post-game pressers. This isn’t to deflect criticism from Don, but it’s potentially a Marlins thing rather than specifically Mattingly. If so, moving Donnie into another role likely wouldn’t change what we see in game Edited March 10, 2021 by marlins_09 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
