Go out and get a real manager, lets do this thing Man, Rick Hahn has this team on a timeline. Ricky blew it with that end of season collapse. 4 minutes ago, fathom said: Jirschele or Sandy is my guess I figured Ricky would get one more season and Jirschele would get one more season in Charlotte. Now I expect Jirschele to be the likely bench coach for someone like Alomar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RR is a nice guy but not the right manager to lead the team to championships. I agree but still feel bad for him. Maybe they stick him upstairs in some capacity. We need to nail the next hire.

mmmmmbeeer Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 So incredibly happy to see this. Beyond an inevitable improvement in in-game moves, lineups, etc., this also tells us that Hahn has JR's ear and is following his lead. There was no doubt in my mind that Rick wanted to fire RR as he wouldn't want to put this rebuild, and his own credibility, in the hands of an incompetent manager. Where I did find doubt was figuring out if JR would go along with the plan. Well, he is....which bodes VERY well for any moves Hahn may want to make this offseason. JR is all in.

I don’t know if he’s the answer, plus the Sox interviewed him once already I don't know about Sandy. We NEED a guy that has been there before to be honest. Our talent speaks for itself, so we just need a manager that can relate to our guys and make smart in game decisions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 The other thing I just thought of from the wording, if they "agreed to part ways", I think that means the Sox are not on the hook for paying Ricky for the last year of his deal. Or at the very least, he got a reduced buy-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEANS Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I think we all knew when he was hired that this situation might come to fruition, I take it as a good thing. The team is ready to make the next step, it's an attractive job and plenty of good/great managers should be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I don't think it will be someone without managerial experience/success. Sandy at least has some experience and success this year. Also is Francona's bench coach. I'm also biased towards former catchers. Edited October 12, 2020 by soxfan2014 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why fire a guy making rookie mistakes in the playoffs, only to bring in a person with less experience? You almost have to be looking at a veteran, otherwise, why fire Ricky? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 As I have been saying for years, his bullpen management was always questionable at best, dating back to the Cubs days. As far as running the game goes, it's probably the biggest part of the job. The other stuff, he was really good. The players seemed to love him, but Rodon with the bases loaded for the first time in 2 months. Ruiz in a big time situation, and then get someone loose the first hit your starter gives up in game 3? I thought winning as many games as they did was probably enough to overcome it, but things are changing. The thing I don't understand is this is nothing new. Why now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
