I am hoping for Girardi or Ferrall and I want a manager that is good with a young pitching rotation and let them work through some adversity. I just don't like how baseball is using their starting pitchers and only using them for about 5 innings. I want my pitchers to go at least 7 to 8 innings and only use a closer to finish the game if need be. I want a manger and pitching coach that can teach pitchers how to pitch and not be just a hard thrower with no purpose. It seems today the pitchers go out and pitch as hard as they can for as long as they can and then take them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 It pains me to say this, but a tip of the cap to the Red Sox. Game 4 was close, but no Ceeegar, Sox win 4-3. After the Game 3 embarrassment the Yanks showed a little fight in the 9th, but too little too late. The Steinbrenners need to shore up starting pitching during the off season. They can't rely on CC, Severino, and Tanaka. They need a top flight Ace. Who? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Severino will take a step and put together a full season next year, but I agree starting pitching is the area of weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local family name is a hit but I'm with you....if I'm the Reds you have to ask the established proven managers who are available if there's interest. You at least owe that to your fans. You call yourself a baseball town...act like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Bell has served as bench coach and assistant hitting coach but that’d be a gamble for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the final score has actually lessened the heat he should get; when he pulled Severino and went with Lynn he did the Sox a huge favor.

Being a Reds fan, I love him...however it looks as though he might have gotten managerial lessons from his father. Aaron was a good player.....they always say that great players don't make good managers. But what about the good players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Sox are really, really good...and they should say thank you to Theo Epstein again. 4-5 guys that Theo drafted (including Mookie) in his last draft with Red Sox (2011) have key roles. See. I knew we could bring it back to the Cubs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
