That is what is was.

Who does a field manager have to coordinate with and what obstacles can he remove for a player that are not in the purview of someone else in the organization with well defined responsibilities. It is not like the players are being assigned projects where they need to interface with people in a massive organization or need to deal with budgetary requests. I don't see the parallels to a boss. I think it is a poor analogy.

Kimmi might disagree about those 5 games.
-
lol!!
-
XB with his first HR. Yes!!
-
A ridiculously long promo.
-
I am not saying that you advocate for big bucks for managers, but if what you say is true there is a strong case to make that they are not needed at all. I'd hire a visiting motivational speaker to come to the clubhouse once or twice a week. The GM could make the lineup and let the players play.
-
And that is worth what a good Babysitter would get. The players largely make their own clubhouse atmosphere. If the players know how to play when they get to the majors and lineups don't matter and in game management has meant a hoot in 33 years, the clubhouse is a weakassed excuse to pay millions for a manager.
-
His last outing was brutal and he is sporting a very high ERA.
-
You make a strong argument for paying managers minimum wage or having no field manager at all.
-
Pregame radio show said that they are just coming out to remove the tarp. I am betting on a late start.

Price out with forearm soreness

People who have been crippled by and almost killed by their front doors are understandably pessimistic. -
Will the game start on time tonight. The forecast looks brutal.
-
He never made it to the World Series without Zimmer. So yes, Torre achieved very little without Zimmer on the bench. I am asserting that. In 2001, they got to the 9th inning of the 7th game of the World Series. In 2003, they ran into a hot Josh Beckett.

On his worst day, Price is a better option than the others. -

And this gobbledygook is his supposed value. It's Nonsense. -
To be completely accurate, Torre went to 2 World Series with Zimmer after 2000 (2001 and 2003), but none without Zimmer. I am not sure what point you are trying to make with you post.
-
Yep, it does. There are so many people who know better what you meant than you do. LOL!!
-
I am not sure why or how it got revealed, but I don't see the need for disclosure. Disclosure has no upside for XB or the team.
-
Joe Torre was not a good manager and he won 4 titles, but none after he lost Zimmer as bench coach. He was a terrible in game manager.
-
The Red Sox sent an email to ticket holders that they will try to play tonight's game. What is the weather forecast for tonight?
-
Why would he want to give the pitchers an advantage?
-
My recollection is that they were losing games at a far worse rate than 78 wins when Farrell went down with cancer, and that the team performed much better under Lovullo. Farrell's record in 2014 and 2015 was dismal.
-
It was circling the drain while he was with the Red Sox.
-
With a struggling offense, it is hard to justify carrying a below average first base bat.
