I didn't care for Roenicke, but that was mainly because of his small ball addiction. Macha....whatever. I don't recall hating his strategies, but he didn't seem to connect with his players, which is kind of important. Yost. .I don't know. It's been awhile, and he seemed to be pretty hated by the time he was canned, I recall him having some pretty questionable bullpen management. But he's obviously doing very well for himself now, and it's possible he's adapted and learned from mistakes, I don't know. I don't know if Counsell is the long-term guy or not, but I really have no issue with him. I don't like how much Nieuwenhuis plays, but if that's my biggest issue with him, it's not a big one. He's been doing better about playing Broxton lately anyway. I don't see any indication that the players have quit on him, which is crucial, to have the respect of your players. I also appreciate his ability to manage games with his head and not a book, as evidenced by him bringing in his closer early in extras on the road when the matchup calls for it. I've disagreed with some moves, but you'll have that with anyone. I'd also add that everyone seems to want a manager that screams, gets in his player's faces, and spits fire. Do those guys even exist anymore in today's game? Furthermore are there any of those type that are just sitting at home right now?
