Some teams out there who were supposed to take names and kick ass are actually on the receiving end. That being stated some mangers and possibly General Managers could soon be toast. 1. Lloyd Mc Clendon, ditto Jay Z spent all that money for little in return. 2. Bard Ausmus, Dombroski left that should say something 3. Matt Williams Nationals picked to win it all, even Scherzer has fallen through the cracks recently 4. Robin Ventura, maybe least likely, hank made a lot of moves, few turned out. 5. Honorary mention San Diego, we know the Manager is temporary, disappointing season for all the moves
Forget the teams. How about firing all associated with espn Sunday nite baseball..........they are better than nyquil. lol An embarrassing network.
Ausmus has looked out of place since he go the job. At times he's often taken for the bat boy, and should of never been given the job. For any and all Mgrs today in the game, by far, Ausmus, is the most clueless....... Detroit Fans have been calling for his head, before last years Post Season....~! Least that's what I hear from a buddy, who's been a 52 yr Season Ticket Holder, ........and speaks for the common Tiger Fan.... The shame this year, I think will top all, is still Ryne Sandberg. Talk about being given a Mgr's job for the 1st time in the Bigs, and your given a Shit sandwich ...... after working his ass off for 5 Years in the Minors.
Sandberg inherited a situation in Philly akin to the one Francona had in Boston in '11. Bunch of aging, under performing crybabies no doubt he got the shitty end of the stick on that one. I'll agree on ESPN and add that MLB is also trending to the slop side of baseball reporting with a couple of exceptions.
Honestly I never understood the hiring of Ausmus & you're right Rob, every time I see him manage he looks more like a deer lost in the head lights. And yes Michael you have to feel bad for Sandberg & what he was saddled with.
No doubt, Sandberg Hall of Famer got the crap end of the stick. My thought was that he'd have wanted to manage the Cubs but that did not happen.
