As a group, we can't even decide what the qualities of a good manager is, much less whether or not Macha posesses them. I'm glad that Macha doesn't sacrifice all the time; I've seen evidence that suggests it's a strategy that's used too often. I'm glad he doesn't use the results of a couple of batter's faced to determine if his pitcher is "on" that day. I don't really see the value in showing "fire" and challenging players. I think Hart somtimes misses flyballs because he's not good at judging them, not because he hadn't been proporly motivated to burn some calories. There are a lot of things Macha does that drives me crazy but I have no reason to believe that his successor won't do the same things. It's the reason why I didn't care if Yost was fired. Hired to be fired. And for the record, the Brewers were projected by nearly everyone to finish with something around 81-83 wins. If the Brewers are hovering around .500 at the All Star break, what is that supposed to tell us about Macha's performance anyway?
