JR talked to his old buddy sometime during the season about this and TLDR said he'd be interested, that's the only reason Renteria was allowed to be moved. Ditto Cooper - you think they're going to move their 20 year loyalty pitching coach if they didn't already know that TLDR was going to bring in his own guy? This is the only reason why RR and Cooper are gone. Expand This ^^^^ 100% truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 My position is that managers are generally not very important, so I take some comfort in that. And I honestly don't know TLR that well. The biggest risk here is if he can't get along with his players, which does feel like an unnecessary risk given that the upside of a good manager is minimal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
