Hire an editor to reduce the caps and exclamation points. You'll be fine beyond that. 😃

One can also question why upper management though they could bypass Hinch and go directly to the players. Would they have tried that with Leyland or Anderson?

I think Leyland would have quit. I understand that's easier for an old veteran mamager who is close to retirement. The hard part would be telling MLB about it, not so much because he'd be afraid of being blackballed, but more because he'd be throwing players under the bus. I won't call it "ratting" because that suggests that telling the truth is a bad thing.

I would never assume that a baseball manager has a lot of power! I think I've made that clear many times. I don't want to see any further punishment. I just consider it a negative in his resume. I don't have any complaints about his management of the Tigers.

We aren't losing New Hamshire!

That is what we were told. It seems to me that a strong manager would have been able to infuence either his bosses or players. I am not putting all the blame on him, but a manager has to take some responsibilty for that. What would Jim Leyland have done?

It was not obvious to me since I would not not judge a manager based on one season where there were a lot of injuries. His team won over 100 games in 2022. I am not even a fan of Showalter. The media has always pumped up as some kind of genius which he is not. My only point is that I don't believe a baseball manager has a big effect on win totals.

I assumed Hinch would be around for a while, so this is not a surprise to me. I am neither happy nor disappointed. He didn't seem to handle the Houston situation well, but I don't sense there is any trouble with the Tigers. The Tigers have had good bullpens since he has been with them too which is one of the few areas I believe a manager can be worth a small number of games. On the other hand, it could be fetter who is doing it.

He had ten winning seasons.

Like every other manager.

Like every other manager.

He already did. He played 70 games at 2B and 16 at SS last year.

How about an Evansville Tripletts cap?

But you said that winning the World Series is all that matters.

Are you calling us stupid?

Someone who brags about their knowledge and self confidence on a sports messageboard can expect to be made fun of. Isn't that what sports bros do to each other? If I thought you were actually dumb, I would not do that to you.

I wasn't ridicuing your intelligence. I was poking fun at your assertion of knowledge and self confidence.

I think you have above average intelligence. But not elite !!! 😀

I also agree more than disagree with him on this topic. It's his attitude.

😃

Yes, I have noticed that... But I also know many religious people that are more reasonable than that.
