The Astros should really interview Brad Ausmus.

Funny Larry Bowa (now) story and has stuck with me for years..
When he had just came up with the Phillies and they had ST in Clearwater, the clubhouse was in the middle of all the practice fields and was easy to get autographs. most of the guys were really nice and a few fans would wait outside the door for them to come out.. Well.. Bowa had this habit of poking his head out and if he saw fans waiting (to get autographs) he would SLAM the door shut, something not even Dick Allen did.
It’s how always knew he wasn’t a very likable person.

Yeah, he seems so personable on MLB network, and just the other day I was thinking that he was doing that gig so that he didn’t give himself a heart attack managing again. He’s very intense when he is on the ball field, and doesn’t seem like the most likable guy in that situation.

Certainly isn’t. He’s a great teacher though by most accounts, so he’s valuable as a coach.
I don’t think he’s a fit to manage a baseball team in this era though, the players are way too soft for a fiery manager like Larry Bowa. He doesn’t take losing well (nor should anyone really but he REALLY doesn’t take it well).

Martinez for Boston? I’d like to see that.

They linked to the wrong Dave Martinez — it should be baseball-reference.com/players/m/martida01.shtml.
