What the fuck was the thought process behind this hire?

I thought Hanh wanted somebody who's in tune with analytics. He brings in this fucking fossil who probably still used dial up internet.

Then he wanted somebody that can communicate with out latin players...welp!

This makes no fucking sense. Did Reinsdorf stick his stupid ass head in this decision?

LaRussa called for a pitcher to come in for relief last time he managed...problem was he hadn't told anyone to warm up...that was a decade ago...you think he's gotten mentally sharper since then? More in tune with technology and analytics? JFC, he's old enough to not just be most of his player's dads, but their granddads.

I can't believe this fucking organization can do so much right in building this roster and then fall on their fucking face with this hire.

Lmfao what an awful thing to do to a great young team. Hire a racist loser 76 year old trump supporter that doesn't understand what kneeling is done for, doesnt believe in analytics, hasn't managed in a decade.

Brilliant move, Jerry. I don't believe Hanh wanted any part of this.

Seriously, fuck Reinsdorf. They just pissed all over this potential championship window. Looks like the World Series will be Yankees vs Dodgers for a while.

Jack McKeon was only three years younger when was hired by the Marlins. That turned out pretty well.

A manager with three world series titles and third most wins somehow doesn't know how to win baseball games.
