Dick Allen Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 08:16 PM) LOL. You're calling the AL Manager of the year a terrible manager. The statement is funny in and of itself. I need say nothing. Do you think Jerry Manuel was a good manager? How about Tony Pena? Larry Bowa? Hal Lanier? Don Zimmer? Jimy Williams? Dusty Baker was manager of the year 3 times. Most of these guys get canned a couple of years after they win the award. I don't think they just get stupid. Its the one award where they get a lot more credit than they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet a few hundred are White Sox fans also. last night at the end of the only 20 people left in the ballpark, about 2/3 of them were standing and cheering on Bobby at the end of the game.

The people who have dealt with major league baseball or a bunch of guys on a message board. hmmm. You mean those same people in major league baseball that would say there's absolutely no comparison between Pods and Sizemore? jphat...do you really think Ozzie is a good in-game manager?

infohawk Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I think Ozzie's a good manager, but has been pushing his luck lately. His one bugaboo is that he does seem to stay with pitchers a little too long sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he chooses to do works out for the most part. COnsidering this offense has been bad to decent for most of the year, and we've had a hell of a lot of close games in which he's had to make a lot of moves, he has to be doing something right. He makes some moves that make you scratch your head at times, but for the most part they work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I honestly wonder how many guys have won Mgr. of the Year who turned out to have good managerial careers, whether it was with the same team or another. It depends on how the players perform for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
