Does Ricky deserve manager of the year?

Recommended Posts

Greg has been saying that Ricky deserves manager of the year for the record he has led this ballclub to. They are nearly .500 with a terrible starting staff and some very bad players like Alonso, Wellington. Do you agree with @greg775? Does Ricky deserve manager of the year?

Granted teams that win the titles usually get manager of the year. Sometimes, however, overachieving teams' managers are considered. As of today, one game under .500, Renteria has as much claim to the award as anybody.

One game under .500? With this team that has a ton of holes offensively, defensively and both in starting pitching and bullpen. Maybe not manager of the year considering the Twins are rolling and other teams are winning divisions, but .... you cannot deny one game under .500 for this team gets Ricky a lotta votes.

At least grade his performance. He gets a firm, solid A from greg at this time. Could change if we revert to expectations.

Some people are just nervous-type guys who look at things on the micro level only.  This causes this nervous guy to want to blame and scold and most importantly, MAKE A CHANGE!  Hold them accountable!  You see this in politics a lot now in your Facebook feed. But when you take a macro look, shit’s lookin good and probably better than it’s been in a long time.

So, in a space of 2 weeks, we've gone from two-thirds of the people thinking that Renteria is the worst Sox manager EVER, that's EVER.  Now, some think he should be manager of the year.  In-friggin'-credible!!!

And here I thought the return of BattleBots would be the greatest comeback of the year

Baldelli is already a lock if the Twins win the division going away. Boone and Cash will be 2nd and 3rd probably.

The Twins play almost 80 games against DET, CLE, KC and CWS. They need to win the division by 20 games to even be considered.

You all poke fun, but there's already been two people giving support to the idea. Not saying I completely agree, but one could make an argument

So what?  There still are people who believe the Earth is flat.  They can make an argument for it all they want, but regardless they're still wrong.

I hate threads like this.  Start your own threads with your own statements.

Let's see how close to .500 the Sox are at the end of the season. If they are, he should get some votes but no he is not Manager of the Year barring a miracle.

For once we agree.
