HammerTime Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 He managed that last game like it was game 7 of the WS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjs4470 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 This sucks for my friend and former college teammate, John Mabry, the Cardinal’s, now former hitting coach, who got let go with Matheny yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Whoever followed LaRussa didn't have a chance. Matheny had a good run following LaRussa. Lasted 6 1/2 years. Managed over 1,000 games. Won over 55% of his games. Made the post season 4 of the 6 full seasons he managed including one NL pennant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantmanky Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Leave it to the Reds to get their own manager and another teams manager fired in the same season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PP1 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I'd take Matheny in Cincinnati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet16 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I'd take Matheny in Cincinnati. You don’t want him. He can’t manage a pen, his lineups make you shake your head, he double switched his 3 and 4 man all the time, and he never grew as a manager. He got away with it when MO had more talent but as the talent went down his managerial skills he lacked was even more obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he seemed totally okay with his closer acting like a complete jerk in the clubhouse with regards to other players. https://deadspin.com/extremely-cardinals-report-mike-matheny-respects-bud-n-1827528307 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldweatherfan Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Do they go get Joseph Girardi?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilyums Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Girardi is Matheney 2.0 he was let go in New York because he had problems getting along with younger players. I really like Mike Matheney he is a class act. But, we all know he had a hard time not butchering a bullpen. I will say this his KMOX interview after being fired was one of the classiest interviews I have ever listened to. He understood that product that was being put on the field was his responsibility, whether it was his fault or not. I think it was a move that had to be made. I also think if Shildt wins the jobs will remain his. If not, don't be surprised to see Stubby or Pop take the reigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Anthony Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Matheny pushed management to get Holland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
