The All-Purpose No Bullshit Tolerating Who Should Be the Next Manager Thread

Rent Rickeria
Rick Brujeria
Diarrhea
Gonorrhea
Seborrhea
Pyorrhea

and so forth.

Rentstink Is Terrible

Dys-enteria

Hysteria

Rick Dysentheriot. I bet there is audio somewhere of Harry hilariously pronouncing Edgar Renteria's name in 1997.

Switching to this thread for Maddon talk.  Really hoping this isn't a mere formality before he joins the Dodgers.  Maddon was the runner-up when Theo hired Francona in Boston, so I guess it's possible.

DPD.  I'd tell him to name his price if I were Theo.  There aren't many difference makers you can put in that chair, but Maddon is one of the maybe two or three out there.  Here's this, for what it's worth:

My guess on Joe Maddon: He eventually winds up with the Cubs.

TPD because I'm a Maddon geek.

This right here is the acid test of Jepstink's commitment.

While Renteria became a much more conservative manager once Alacantra/Baez/Soler showed up, hiring Maddon and kicking Ricky upstairs would be a pretty large-scale improvement. It would also send a message that no matter who you are, if they can upgrade they're going to.

I'm not even sure he's that much of a difference-maker. Maybe a game or two over the course of a season, but every study has shown a manager's impact is negligible.

Not saying I wouldn't be a little excited if they got him (mostly because it'd be a pretty clear signal they want to win now), but I don't think there'd be a significant tangible difference over Renteria.

I think in the postseason the manager makes a much bigger impact.

Ricketts' commitment moreso than JepStink. They may want him but may need Tom's okay to can Ricky.

Did you have anything else to add?

Just look at World Series Manager Butchie Yost.

What BH said. Also if you think Maddon is even SLIGHTLY better than Renteria, you should be in favor of this move. Every advantage counts and it's not my money.

No, but it's Ricketts' money and he has a limited amount to spend on the team.

I figured I'd follow your lead.
