    Talking about Mattingly on the Yankees booth. Paul mentions how Mattingly knew the rock stars and mentions Eddie Vedder.

    I keep trying to find how long he signed for. Upon my search. He said that he was contacted by a few teams. But it wasn't the right fit or something. I don't know if it was for a managerial position or coach. I wonder if he knows there will be a few opportunities next season.

    Of course the Marlins are 10-0 in 1 run games. You knew they were eventually get the breaks.

    14-1 bastards. And now they have an easy schedule coming up. Mattingly should have stayed

    Doesn't matter. If you put the right guy in and he screws it up. How is it the manager's fault. For years Girardi was praised for how he handled the bullpen. The Yankees have had a top bullpen for almost 30 years now. And the top closers. He goes to Philly and gets killed for his bullpen moves.

    Mattingly could have made the same exact moves. And the players would have lost the game.

    If Jorge Soler had played like this last season before his injury. The Marlins would have had a winning record at this point of the season. Maybe Mattingly might have been convinced to stay and see this through. Sucks that he stayed through the tribulations of a rebuild.
