Re: Grade Jerry Narron
I've made my decision after watching him manage the top of the 10th tonight against the Padres.
F- He should be fired tonight after the game.

Re: Grade Jerry Narron
F. If he had success anywhere else I would be a little more generous. If he know how to motivate players I would be a little more generous. If he know how to get the best out of people I would be a little more generous. If he didn't let his team quit down the stretch last year I would have give him a chance.

Re: Grade Jerry Narron
His greatest sin is batting lineup construction, which is a pretty big sin to have as a manager. I gave him a C (generous) on that basis.
I blame Krivsky for the presence of Castro on the roster or the grade would be lower. |

Re: Grade Jerry Narron
He just needs to be consistent and manage the way he's capable of. If he can do that, he'll give us a chance to win. We all know he's got the ability. He's just got to battle through this. The guy is a winner. He knows how to win. Frederick and Hagerstown know that.

Re: Grade Jerry Narron
I didn't vote because there wasn't a choice that fits my position. I want him gone by spring training next year. The Reds are in a position to win with a lot of young talent and I don't see him as a manager who will develop and play young guys if he has any other choice(yeah, I know about Hamilton - he's a special case). The only reason I'd let him finish the season here is because Hamilton probably feels more comfortable with the Narrons. Since I see 07 as a lost cause I can live with Narron on the chance it might be good for Hamilton.

Re: Grade Jerry Narron
May 16th, 2007 ...
Bronson Arroyo pitches eight outstanding innings and walks off the field after the 8th inning of a 2-2 tie game with a pitch count of 110. Jerry Narron runs Arroyo out there for the 9th inning only to watch Arroyo run his pitch count drastically high, load the bases, and then walk in the winning run. Arroyo's final pitch count: 129 pitches. There is absolutely no good reason to let one of your franchise-caliber pitchers - who also happens to be under a fairly expensive contract for several seasons - throw 129 pitches in a single start, much less let him throw 129 pitches in a single start for a team that is 16-24 and in last place in the NL Central. If Jerry Narron isn't interested in protecting this franchise's prized pitchers, then I'm not interested in him managing this club.

Re: Grade Jerry Narron
I changed my mind after watching Narron abuse our two best starters(both of whom the Reds control thru 2011), showing no emotion over several terrible misplays and a horrible call on the last pitch. By trying to save his job he could injure BA and/or AH and cripple the Reds chances for several years. Replace him now! F
