Dick Allen Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I just wonder what is going through these coaches minds when Pedro says to their faces they weren't good enough they are gone, but for some reason, his performance got him another year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 On 10/4/2023 at 4:13 PM, ScootsMcGoots said: I thought of one. Getz could be an incompetent GM. Expand Both Hahn and Getz said Pedro wasn’t responsible for this mess throughout 2023. Also, Jerry is not paying three guys to not work. He has rarely paid people for one year. I think it’s Getz’ call in season / after 2024, but not now. If Getz can show organizational progress over the next year, perhaps solid candidates like Joe Espada would actually consider coming here instead of interviewing and pulling themselves out of consideration to remain a bench coach for a professional organization.

Expand No coach will think Boston should have stayed beyond “player bond” nonsense. He was responsible for OF play as well, and it was putrid this entire time, even with competent defenders. Don’t know much about the hitting coach (wonder if Robert knows his name, I believe it’s Castro or Johnson), but also hard to argue the team doesn’t need a significant change in approach in terms of game plan, pitch recognition and attempting to control the strike zone / work counts.

zisk Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Pedro is going to be fired after next season. If Earl Weaver rose from the great beyond, and managed the team next year we'd only lose 96 games. Let Pedro take it in the shorts in 2024. No need to have a real manager for these clowns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I found a list from writer C. Trent Rosecrans of Baseball Prospectus of what makes a good manager. In bold after each one is my idea of how Pedro is doing in regard to each of these bullet points: Preparation for every series and every game so they have a better chance of making the right decision during a crucial moment in the game...Nope Excellent communication skills with players and coaching staff....Doesn't seem so Understanding how to construct a lineup both for the short-term and over the course of a season...Uh, No Understanding how to help players maximize their talents and get the most out of their skills...Absolutely a No here Leadership abilities that help them bring people together for a common goal....Unless the common goal is losing, then No Knowing how to manage the different personalities of different players, from the superstars to the utility infielders....Noppity Nope Nope 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
