Balta1701 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Man, after that whole deal of him leaving and coming back last year, I figured he was there for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Macha's job never seemed safe, despite all of the success he had. Very strange situation, ever since he took over for Howe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Beane continues to be an egocentric prick. Never gives a manager enough credit (of course too many people give mgr's too much credit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackie hayes Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 (edited) When I saw the quotes after game 3 from Chavez and Bradley conceding the series, my first thought was, What the hell kind of a clubhouse allows that? Then you read Melhuse's comments, and you still want to say this is just Beane being an ass? C'mon -- the last thing he wants to do with his budget is waste $2 mil. It sounds like Macha just lost his team. Edited October 16, 2006 by jackie hayes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I have heard this stuff with Macha before. When they lost to Boston in 03, Terrence Long said that Macha came around and shook everybodys hand after the game. Everyone except Long that is, and he was traded after the season. I expect Ron Washington to get the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 03:24 PM) Good place for Busty Daker I see Dusty really picking his spot for his next move. He made a ton of cash with the Cubs and supposedly was pissed how it ended. I think he wants to slide into a top contender position and win right away, even if that means waiting awhile. But I do see your point in Oakland, Beane may have a lot of issues, but he's figured out how to win that division on a consistent basis, so that could be a place Dusty would look good sliding in and heading to the playoffs.

It sounds like Macha just lost his team. Ditto. I think Macha lost the guys. I remember them talking about Swisher and him knocking heads multiple times and they somehow portrayed that in a good light (ie Swisher has that "energy" and "desire").

History has shown that fired Cub managers fall off the face of the Earth and never manage another baseball team in their lifetime. Dusty could break that streak.

Rowand44 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I really doubt Dusty would get the A's job. He doesn't really subscribe to the moneyball theory if that makes sense. I don't think he'd be a good fit there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Oct 16, 2006 -> 10:21 PM) It wouldn't surprise me if Dusty Baker got the job. It would shock me. A, the A's aren't gonna spend a ton of money for a manager (especially when they are already paying Macha 2 mill) and B, Baker isn't going to just sit there and be told what to do by Beane. If I were a proven mgr (and Baker is that, even though he didn't actually do that great with the Cubs) there is absolutely no way I'd take the A's job. In fact, I'd do all I could not to take that job, unless my only other choice was something like the Dray job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
