With 5 games left..

Kinda odd but they've cleared the spot in line for a possible replacement .

 

Manager firings soon ...

 

[claptonrocks]

David Ross let go by Cubs after winning seasons....??

He's a former Red and a talented manager.

Maybe they get him.

[claptonrocks]

Reds have scored less than 3 runs in a game 50 times this year..

Inconsistency was their downfall.

Reds are about to snatch last-place from the Pirates clutches. Lost their last 5 games, scoring a combined total of 3 runs, and have blown a 3 1/2 game cushion in that time. What a miserable end to the season.

What are miserable season period.

There was high hopes this year.

Top 2 candidates Reds manager.

Skip Schumaker

David Ross

 

It would seem a good fit for Schumaker in St Louis but

word is Yadier Molina will get the nod.

David Ross has ties with the Reds.

 

I'll go with the Reds signing Schumaker.

When a team disappoints their expectations the manager usually is the first to go.

Such the case with Bell

 

Bell was viewed as an analytic when making moves.

Players have talked about his refusal to hold accountability.

 

Francona using analytics as well but yours it by going with his gut feelings in situations as well.

He has the track record of getting the most out of his teams.

 

I think it's a positive move.

I'm just not sure how the manager can make the players more consistent. That's coaching to me, not managing.

We'll have to see yes.

[claptonrocks]

On another note.

Edwin Arroyo is a gifted SS.

His arrival time to the bigs is near.

Maybe Elly moves to center soon.

Just my thougts.

Love this! I watched him a lot when my hubby would be watching Indians games and I always liked him. I just hope he's over all of the health issues that plagued him the last couple of years in Cleveland.
