Dodgers in search of a manager

[realmofotalk]

Yeah, that was wishful thinking on my part. At this point, I'll be shocked if Kapler doesn't get the job, given that he's made it this far over all the external candidates.

Remember that you said it! I am already hearing people fearful Gabe will be a puppet, haven't seen any Dodger fans happy about this selection ........yet.

I don't think they're fearful that he will be puppet for the nerds as much as they're fearful that the veteran "leaders" on the team won't respect him for it.

Honestly, puppet or not, I'll take his knowledge of sabermetrics over a manager who thinks RBIs are a good way to judge a player's offensive production.

Looks like it's Dave Roberts

Text from NL exec on #Dodgers hiring Dave Roberts: "NL West just got easier to win."

I see people guessing it's Preller who said that, but my money is still on Dave Stewart just because he's always had a foot-in-the-mouth disease.

Me:Hey Dave, when is Matt Kemp signing that big contract?

Stewart: Soon as you get real owners.

MeWhispering) Ohhh man.

Me: And when will that happen?

Stewart: That I cannot tell you.

Hopefully, Dodgers fans are happy.

I don't feel any happier. How about you?

Mmm...a little.

Roberts looks like more of the same Donnie Dumbshit with his pitching decisions. The list of Dodgers managers have been a running joke since Alston and Lasorda retired.
