Mid-Season Manager Changes mostly don’t work – Ep. 314

Already in this 2022 season 2 managers have been fired.   Joe Maddon and Joe Girardi.  There are no other Joe’s managing in MLB so maybe everyone else’s job is safe.  Why change managers in-season – early-mid-late season?   We talk about manager changes over the years – even the fairly recent one where the manager was fired with 12 games to go and his successor led the team to a scintillating 7-5 finish to make the playoffs.  

Then there’s owner George Steinbrenner and his Yankees. There won’t ever be another like him.  That’s probably a good thing overall but it sure wasn’t boring in the Bronx in the 1970’s & 80’s!
