I’d guess that it was more than that one incident. For all we know, Johnny may have told him to hand the baseball to Reyes. I once looked up the definition of, “philosophical differences.” One of the synonyms was, “This guy doesn’t always behave exactly like I tell him to”…
Under Shildt we won more than we lost, and there wasn’t much clubhouse drama. Now, we’re losing and there is a lot of drama.
Other than the Reyes accident, I though that Shildt did an okay to good job.
With Marmol they are in a horrible position. If the dude isn’t big league managerial material, he needs to fired ASAP, and start fresh. If he has potential, we might have to wait until his 4th season before he’s really good.
There’s no good courses of action, only bad and worse
