    Maddon is a stubborn mule who refuses to improvise when he needs to

    This is exactly right. I got the feeling he managed with his heart even when it would hurt the team. Trotting Strop out there time after time in high leverage situations was beyond me.

    Let's face it.

    He was basically given a dynasty roster and all he did was barely and I mean barely win one world series. Even in that series he got lucky the Indians injury problems wore them out.

    He literally did terrible with this star studded roster.

    Now before someone makes excuses for him about how they have no bullpen etc in the regular season you can win 95 games with the roster they have.

    2 late season collapses in a row. Contract expired.

    Good call.

    Joe Girardi?
    David Ross?
    Ryne Sandberg?

    So they should retain him to be "grateful". Now that's dumb.

    He also had that Rays team with outstanding pitching and defense and couldn't get them over the hump.

    Local sports radio show here always ridiculed him and poked fun saying he refused to go away from his Commodore 64 model scripting each game for him instead of basing coaching decisions on how each have played out

    I think he went polar opposite with the Cubs. Odd new lineups daily.

    Enough with this “Joe Maddon is a genius bullshit.” The guy was gifted a WS by the Cubs with that roster. They handed him a legacy.

    He's no managing genius, but he does generally manage to earn the respect of his players. That's his strong suit.

    Madison needed to go, but Epstein needs to go to, the bullpen was not adequately addressed.
