flavum Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 2019- seeing that they'll probably be good in 2020 2020- actually make the playoffs 2021- ALCS or bust Renteria is signed through 2019. He gets three years, and I'm not going to worry about him at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything they've over-achieved this year so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) The way he runs a bullpen is mind boggling. If Robin was still here, the pitchforks would be out, but they aren't trying to win, so you might as well keep him around and hope with more talent his decisions make more sense. If not launch him then. At this point he is fine. I feel bad for Alen Hanson. His kids are going to be teased about their father being PH for by Kevan Smith.

Gotta hope he improves on the job in some aspects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No manager is perfect, even ones that win world series'. Many fans have griped over the way Maddon ran his team in the world series, and even this season, and hes a top of the line manager, or considered to be. Ozzie had his share of haters too. Let Ricky manage. He's great for this team and fits perfectly with the Spanish speaking players. No one better to run this team in my opinion.

nickofypres Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Right, every fan base has gripes about their manager. I'm sure Yankees fans had their qualms with Torre, and Cardinals' fans with LaRussa. I'm not going to defend him, but it's best for him to work things out now while the team is rebuilding. And after 2019, or whatever, he's seen better as a developmental manager than a competitive one then just get someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxnfins Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 This may sound really crazy and out there, but Mark Buehrle may be our manager. Don't know why, but I have a feeling in my gut it'll be someone close to JR, if he still owns the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I hated the Robin hiring, and I wouldn't want Paulie either. Experience matters. Edited June 26, 2017 by Al Lopez's Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) It's easy to be down on Renteria after the June swoon. It's possible he is not responsible for this. In any case, I think Renteria will have 3- 5 years like Ventura had, but we shall see. In the meantime, Renetria should probably put Davidson at third and get a guy that makes good contact to replace Frazier in the middle of the order.

GGajewski18 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Rick Renteria. He has overachieved with this club so far and if you can't see that as a fan then I don't know what you see. He continues to improve and he should see this out until we get good again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Any name other than Renteria is going to be wrong. If he isn't the manager, something went horribly wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
