Nice move, he’s a good manager. The team has been improving with him. But they should have signed him through 2019, then signed Maddon after.

You do realize Maddon isn’t going anywhere right?
padresfan
So u think
cubsfan2489
Oh I suppose he’s going to go to San Diego too right? My god all of you fans of rebuilding teams dream on. Funny thing is, the White Sox have a better manager than Philly or San Diego, and they just now went full rebuild. Keep dreaming, jabronis.

And all you bandwagon Cub fans stop talking down to other teams fans! By the way you aren’t anyone’s rep!

Bandwagon Cub fans? Sounds like some jealousy ….
thegreatcerealfamine
Not all they’re fans! Just jabronis like this guy.

I doubt Joe Maddon will leave Chicago, but anythings possible

Hes a terrible manager.. his bullpen is god awful. Neris has an ERA in the 9th of like 10, then mackanin continues to use him as the closer. Neshek doesnt get leverage innings despite being the best reliever. j Rodriguez throws multiple innings despite being a lefty specialist
Johhos
Ummm.. He can’t pitch for them. Neris was only the closer because the two guys before him failed. Benoit blowing off steam about roles not defined is good, but when you try to set guys in roles and they fail, you gotta change. The problem is McClure and the fact that Klentak spent some money in Benoit and Neshek and they are the only two earning their money. But the starters can’t finish 6 innings, so he has to piecemeal the 7-8-9 together .they have 17 relievers between Philly and AAA and he has 2 that can be counted on.
Petes not the best but the bullpen forest fire isn’t his fault.
cjelepis
Agree with everything you just except that Benoit is awful.
Brixton
Benoit has had 2 bad outings, hes been damn near perfect except for those
PLAYTOWIN
Mackanin is a very good manager. He is perfect for a young team. With better pitching the Phillies will improve.

a team will improve when they get better? you don’t say
vinscully16
Good idea.
some guy 2
He’s not a strategic genius (an unfair standard to hold anybody to) but he’s a perfectly fine manager. He’s extracted some good performances from washed out retreads and he’s stuck by young talent even when they’ve struggled, giving them much needed confidence. The only potential strike against him is how he handled Tyler Goeddel. Still not sure what happened there…
