Managers are only as good as their players. Why do you think Phil Jackson never went to a start up team? Great coaching minds are weak if you don't have the players.

This is not true. Some players play harder for certain managers.

Hey bud. They have other problems but he’s the worst manager in baseball. Never seen a guy screw up every bullpen decision for months straight. Harper is playing with a tear in his elbow but Dominguez can’t pitch 2 days in a row? I’m just happy he’s gone.

Hope you’re well Vitty. Didn’t think he was a good fit anyway. Agree his bullpen decisions have been atrocious
