Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Mckeon and Davey in one week.Originally Posted by RedsManRick
Who is next, Bob Boone?
Another fact. Freddy Gonzalez is the 2nd longest tenured manager in the NL East.
Dusty is second longest tenured in our division, and I believe is about 5th in the entire NL.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
That I can wrap my head around. Hard to believe the guy who took over for Bobby Cox is already 2nd most tenured in that division.
Nats will be tough with Davey Johnson.

The Nats got one of my all time favorites.. Davey is a great coach and he is in a good place to actually give the division a run for its money.
Hadn't we been told for years that Davey Johnson didn't want to get back into managing?
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
For years and years.. But I think I heard he was doing it as a favor to the GM..
Just an absolutely stupid move by Jim Riggleman. Do you know Dusty could have done the same thing with the Reds last year if he wanted, but he never would have done that. He could have told Jocketty "Sign me to an extension now since my contract runs out after this year or I'm gone." But mature people just don't operate in that fashion. And Dusty Baker has a hell of a lot more credentials than Jim Riggleman.
Some people say it's "honorable" what he did. I say it's flat-out stupid. If he would have continued to win (or even close) the Nats definitely would have re-signed him. There are only 30 MLB managerial jobs available and you better not allow your stubbornness to cost you one of them. Anyone want to bet that Riggleman will never be an MLB manager again? No way anyone ever gives him another shot. He'll definitely regret making that decision.
Maybe if Davey does really well this season the Nats will replace him with Ray Knight next year.
I hope the Nats confirmed that Davey got that whole live-in girlfriend issue resolved. Living with a significant other whom you're not married to does preclude managing a MLB team, honey. </Marge>
I'm pretty sure that she and Davey got married.

Tom Boswell makes some of these same points in his column from the WaPo:

Maybe Marge though he already was married....AND had a live in girlfriend?
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
