MoTY x 3 Murph did it again

[torts]

Greatest manager in franchise history 

[DonBarclay]

What does Murph need to be a Hall of Famer? First ever 3 consecutive MOTY. I think he’s a shoo in if he gets another ring. 

[StearnsFTW]

I'm a little surprised he only got 20/30 first-place votes but whatever, a win is a win.

 

I'd love to hear the case from the 7 people that voted for Walt Weiss.

Just had that hip replacement he put off during the season and doing the interview from the hospital bed.  Only Murph.

My guess is some just didn't want to vote for the same guy 3 years in a row.

Him winning was pretty obvious, so I don't know what other reason there could be.

So, find new voters would be my response......

 

I'm sure you're right, but that's an asinine reason.

At this point he almost has to be a hall of famer.   Three managers of the year and a World Series title.   There can’t be too many managers in history with that resume

He needs to manage 10 years first to clear the minimum. Another WS would help. 

[dlk9s]

At his age, not sure if he'll end up with 10 years, but then he'll just be the John Cazale of MLB managers.

Pat Murphy will make the HOF some day, imo. Three MOY in a row is going to be hard for anyone to do, he got an improbable World Series ring, and is well well respected among his peers.

May take till the veterans committee or whatever…but some day he will be honored.

Media expectations will finally be high for the Brewers next year, so I don't think four in a row is going to happen. Maybe if the Brewers win 116.

When do they vote?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

If I'm reading the results correctly, someone didn't put Murphy in their top 3. This is not a person who should be voting for any awards. 

[owbc]

Can’t wait to have Murph and Counsell in the dugout together at Wrigley in July. Please mic them up!

Weiss had a really solid case. Atlanta improved by 18 wins despite dealing with huge SP injury issues.

Only 30 votes so Murphy was voted by everyone. 20 first, 7 second, 3 third

[long ball]

I’m happy for Murphy. As @dlk9smentioned, they probably need a 2001 mariners regular season for him to win again in the future. 
 

not sure on what it takes for a manager to make the HoF, but if he can lead this team to another WS championship he will at least have the peak. 

[markedman5]

Counsell got a 2nd place vote…….🤔

End of regular season

I can't belief 3 voters had him at 3rd place, I can get someone trying to justify a 2nd place vote if they have a team they cover. However Murph might have put together one of the best coaching jobs in history this year when you consider the team salary and that the top 6 pitchers in the rotation (Misi, Henderson, Harrison, Drohan, Gasser, Sproat) weren't on the opening day roster 2025 and were all basically rookies except the 24 year old Harrison.

If that's the case I find it easier to justify Murphy getting 2nd and 3rd place votes.

I don't blame people if they voted because they figured the Brewers would flame out again. That's what like 2/3 of this board thought.  

[sveumrules]

Both of Stammen's first place votes came from the SD writers. Mattingly's lone first place vote was from SF (both PHI writers went Murph - Weiss - Mattingly).

Of Weiss's seven first place votes he got both the the NYM and MIA (fellow NL East teams), one ATL, then one each from ARI and COL (Walt managed the Rockies from 2013 to 2016).

Uh huh.

 

Better case than Murphy?
