What did I post that was nonsense and why was it nonsense? Be specific. I'm about 99% certain you either can't or won't. Prove me wrong.
Julio is an all star at what he does. SS, Manny Acta, and whoever the hitting coach is are not.
So? What does this have to do with anything I've posted? 1 manager from each league is the all star game manager each season. A lot of good managers aren't all stars.
I don't even believe you've been watching the games throughout the year.
Speaking of nonsense... Sure, I just post about what is actually happening in the games, while it is actually happening, but I'm not watching the games. What a bafflingly stupid comment.
You undermine managing in baseball so much lol.
What are you even trying to say here? How am I undermining managing in baseball? Do you even know what undermine means?
The reason Ms even got hot in July and August was because of Dipoto mostly lol. He (temporarily) fixed the bottom of the line up.
Dipoto didn't acquire Rojas and Canzone until the last day of July, so no, that wasn't why they started playing better in July. And while Rojas and Canzone were pretty good for us in August, trading away Sewald is starting to look like a full blown disaster. Our bullpen started falling apart not too long after we got rid of Sewald and they have slowly but surely gotten worse and worse ever since.
SS doesn't manage. There's no small ball when there needs to be. There's no nothing. There's just "hey batter up go swing away! Hope we win!".
Frankly, I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about. You have no idea what the coaches are or aren't telling guys. The manager and coaches can only do so much. It's up to the players to execute.
The fact no coaches stepped in and told Kelenic and O'Keefe not to swing at every freaking pitch they see is just pathetic. There is no coaching going on. I don't see it.
Another absolutely inane comment. You actually believe that a manager or a coach can control what pitches a batter swings at during an at bat. That anytime a batter has a poor AB, it's the managers fault for not "controlling their players" or whatever goofy nonsense you've said before. Obviously I understand that a manager or coach can tell a player to take a pitch (or pitches) or swing away, but that's about all they can do. Once a player is in the batters box, it's on them. There is literally no manager in baseball that can control an AB the way you expect SS to control his players AB's.
