Should have been given 2021, or at least replaced by a solid manager. Unfortunately Ricky was fired to accommodate JR/TLR bromance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that we hired to bad replacements in a row. I just don't think a team that wants to win, (even if they are delusional) hires Grifol to be their manager.

He wasn’t seen as a guy to get them over the hump and transition from “developing” to “contending” (quotes intentional). I agree with you to a certain extent. All went great until the last week of the short season, when the team started to stagger and Ricky began to act sort of nutty in an attempt to shock them back on track. That may have been the signal to management to replace him (or the opportunity to hire an old buddy for no damn good reason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a 162 game season that last week would have been just another stretch, but in the 2020 season it was way too important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
