Don't look now, but the Phils are looking at Buck Showalter and Ruben "I Russo'd The Phillies Single-Handedly" Amaro Jr. for the manager slot.

PetrolCB Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I wouldn’t mind Showalter. Although he did agree to use cotton uniforms. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Ape Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Honestly, I'd take the return of Terry Francona over Ruben fucking Amaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can celebrate that 50 years ago the Tigers were able to roll out Al Kaline, Norm Cash, Eddie Mathews, and Willie Horton in the 3-4-5-6 spots in the line-up. Of course, playing in Detroit was so devastating to Mathews that he retired the next season after thirty games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Quote Dombrowski has hired only two managers in the past 12 seasons: Jim Leyland, with whom he worked for both the Florida Marlins and Detroit Tigers, is steadfastly retired; Brad Ausmus, one potential candidate to replace Farrell, was recently fired by the Tigers after a 98-loss, last-place season. The Red Sox could look within the organization at popular former catcher and team captain Jason Varitek. Other possibilities could include DiSarcina and Houston Astros bench coach Alex Cora, a hot managerial prospect who played for the Sox from 2005 to 2008. Dombrowski also has a long-standing relationship with Hall of Fame manager Tony La Russa, who recently turned 73 and hasn't managed since 2011 with the St. Louis Cardinals.

You forget I'm not quite as ancient as you In our defense, Eddie played two years with Detroit. He retired because he couldn't play anymore.

If the Yankees had gotten swept, I don't think Hal brings Girardi back. I think getting the Yankees to game 5 has earned Joe a new contract. I also don't think Hal will risk letting Joe go and ending up with the Mets or Red Sox job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted October 12, 2017 Author Share Posted October 12, 2017 This is one Boston writer's take (via trade rumors) Quote As to the reasons that Farrell was ultimately dismissed, Abraham details a number of instances of Farrell’s communication with his players deteriorating. Abraham reports that Dombrowski and Farrell strongly disagreed with how the team handled Manny Machado’s controversial slide into Dustin Pedroia earlier this year. Farrell’s claims that he was in the dark during the ridiculous Apple Watch scandal also reflected poorly on him, and the drama between David Price and commentator Dennis Eckersley also suggested further lack of communication between Farrell and the clubhouse, Abraham writes.

John from Cincinnati Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 In plain English, this means Dombrowski wasn't down with the players headhunting during the Machado drama? I guess that's reassuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
