said he's still tied for 1st with injuries to the pitching staff, to the catcher, issues with the left side of the pen, dealing with issues at 2nd and an overpaid CF... and still pushing to win the division.

Not sure I believe that, but roger McDowell is the best the best pitching coach in mlb IMO. What he does with guys that shouldn't be good is miraculous. If only he can get minor right now.
I will give fredi some credit though. Moving bj to leadoff was very controversial, but the results are astounding. The braves are 15-4 since that move
Braves just released uggla!

Also, not like the nats have been a model of health. Gio, Harper, Zimmerman, Ramos, and laroche are all good starters that have spent varying amount of time on the DL.
Manager of the year is Ron Roenicke IMO. 1st place in the toughest division in baseball. He's done a great job so far
Dunno if he's MotY or not, but for all his flaws and the hell we give him, Fredi is a pretty damn good manager. He drives me nuts sometimes, but we're winning. Kinda like Cohen. But we could definitely do a lot worse than Fredi, that's for damn sure.
Let's play a fun little game: Compare Managers to SEC Head Coaches
aaaaaaaaaand GO!
Not a baseball to baseball comparison but this was an automatic thought:Quote:
