during-the-postseason firing/hiring thread

molitor, mattingly, scioscia, counsell and bud black were pretty good tho. and dusty (rip)

Significantly better than that: Jose oquendo and Willie McGee, both joining the cardinals coaching staff in 2018 (still unsure on McGee’s role)

GIRARDI OUT lol

Zombie George Steinbush Has Risen From the Dead

fangraphs projected them to win 79.1 games and finishing last in the division this year

i mean the guy is a joyless mandarin but he's won a world series, never had a losing record with the team despite going through a 'rebuild' and is clearly one of the best in the game

I think I packed a joyless mandarin in my lunch today.

Gay Talese on Joe Girardi a few years back was really good. It's a travel day, you have time https://t.co/XDFwYA0SoF

sticking with my theory. I don't think Cashman wants name brand manager, not that guys like Willie, Dusty, or even A-Rod don't have merits https://t.co/AdachA6VKo

again, sticking with that theory... Meulens (ex-Yankee), Kapler, Martinez, maybe someone even more obscure. https://t.co/ue68iQQjbw

wow, that really is a shock

guessing he will not be unemployed for long

btw it does not surprise me that Counsell is a good manager. dude gritted out a 16-year MLB career (and a World Series!) despite having virtually no natural baseball talent.

80-grade batting stance tho

we used to imitate that stance in softball, I have no clue how he ever got a hit that way

The Indians have hired Carl Willis to be their pitching coach. Willis worked for the past 2 1/2 seasons on deposed Red Sox manager John Farrell's staff

22 weeks til Opening Day btw

mike maddux to STL

DET pitching coach: Bosio
CHC pitching coach: Hickey

and Chili Davis Cubs hitting coach!

bosio did great work with jeff beck

Dave Martinez to manage the Senators.

I guess the Girardi to Washington rumors were based on pure speculation.

they should definitely call themselves the Senators, cuz they can't close the deal. :)

gabe kapler to the phillies, apparently. good hire

yesssss

Curt Schilling just told @975TheFanatic that he has expressed interest to Gabe Kapler in being his pitching coach with the #Phillies.

The Padres have hired Matt Stairs as their new hitting coach.

not a bad idea to hire people with inside knowledge of like 12 different MLB teams

wow if ever i needed a reason be out on this dumb team

Ruben Amaro Jr. will be #Mets’ first base/baserunning/outfield coach, sources tell The Athletic. Had similar role with #RedSox last season.

as long as he ain't setting 'policy' seems harmless
