The whole AL Central is our Nolan Ryan. My thoughts exactly. F the sabremetrics, give me a guy with some gumption and leadership ability. Ventura has displayed neither as a manager. Hell, he batted Adam Dunn in the 3 hole for 2+ years. That right there tells me enough.

Explain if Robin is so emotionless, how he went after Nolan Ryan. He felt he had no choice, but didnt exactly wholeheartedly charge either...he was hesitant at first.

April 11, 201510 yr Ozzie was there yesterday blabbing to Kenny. Let's dump RV, he don't even have a pulse, and let Ozzie put the uniform back on. thanks, douglas
April 11, 201510 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 10, 2015 -> 04:25 PM) If it was Robin's fault the team sucked the last 2 years, how do you look at Garenhire's last 4 years and say he is an upgrade? BRAVO
April 11, 201510 yr The appropriate manager for this team is out there somewhere, but it's not Ozzie. Unfortunately, with each passing day, it doesn't look like Robin either. Just the wrong fit for a team that hasn't won or done anything. I see a guy who'd rather be friends with the players than hold them accountable. Horizons need to be expanded - someone from outside the "family" would be refreshing.
April 12, 201510 yr Ventura just didn't have any experience when he took the job. The problem isn't that he's not "emotional" enough. Don't need fossils like Gardenhire or hothead heroes like Gibson. Just an manager who has a strong resume on ML benches and who has the leadership and personality to handle a ML team....for the next time we're in need of a manager.
