The thing about Renteria is tough. An organization should do what they think puts them in the best position in which to win! It hurts sometimes when a person (seemingly a very good person) such as Renteria is let go and kind of used as a scapegoat. That said...playoff game 3 in the A's series was an absolute nightmare (I am new here so maybe I am weighing on something that could make people mad at me) on the pitching side! Whoever came up with the idea for that strategy of pulling Dunning immediately is nuts! I really don't think it was Renteria's but he must have signed off on it...or was told to! Anyway...I think he is a good guy for any clubhouse...but maybe not the right personality for the "big chair". I was 100% against the hire of TLR...but results will speak volumes and so far it has been tough to be critical of TLR when looking at the entire body of work.
