The offseason is upon us, Dodger followers, and with all of the uncertainty occurring with LA, one factor is for certain: Dave Roberts will return because the skipper for the Boys in Bue in 2024.
I do know, I do know, a lot of you guys favor a brand new supervisor for a wide range of causes, however would you moderately have Roberts or return to former LA skipper from 2011-2015, Don Mattingly? Okay, don’t reply that, as he’s not a practical choice, however he could also be an actual choice for the hated Houston Astros.
The Astros are in search of a brand new particular person on the helm after the nice Dusty Baker retired following Houston’s loss to the Rangers within the ALCS. And Mattingly could also be checked out because the particular person to be the following supervisor for Houston.
Talking of huge names, few are extra interesting than Donnie Baseball — and Jackson may give his boss a greater Mattingly evaluation than most. Mattingly’s .483 managerial successful share is just not attractive, however many of the setbacks got here throughout a troublesome stretch with the Miami Marlins, who endured the premature demise of homegrown ace José Fernández and a subsequent selloff on Mattingly’s watch.

As Rome talked about, the Miami Marlins, through which he was on the helm from 2016-2022, didn’t assist his managerial file. Nevertheless, surrounded by an excellent group, which he was in LA for 5 years, he was fairly stable. The previous participant led LA to 3 straight NL West titles and snagged 446 wins in 809 video games to convey his win share to .551 in Los Angeles.
Now, the postseason file is regarding as he sits at 10-14 as a supervisor. Nonetheless, Mattingly has confirmed he can coach on this league, and with an unimaginable roster in Houston, he might hop on and experience their coattails.
The seek for Houston’s subsequent coach could take some time, and we’ll see if Mattingly might stand out from the group.
