faba Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 ESPN.com news services 2K Shares Email print comment The Miami Marlins have hired Don Mattingly to be their next manager, according to a report. VICE Sports, citing sources, reported that the deal is for four years and likely will be made official after the World Series. Mattingly stepped down as manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers on Oct. 22 with one year remaining on his contract. The Dodgers won 55 percent of their regular-season games in his five seasons (446-363). The Marlins began their search earlier this month, after it was determined that Dan Jennings would not return in the role next season. Jennings had made the unusual move from GM to manager when the Marlins fired Mike Redmond in May after a 16-22 start. The change failed to spark a turnaround, and the injury-riddled Marlins finished 71-91 in their sixth consecutive losing season. Mattingly led the Dodgers to three straight NL West titles, a first in franchise history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Great news for Mets fans actually. Dude needed to go to the AL. He's really something awful in the NL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFSIKH Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 This. Glad he got a job, but he shouldve waited for something better. I was thinking he is lucky to get a job. He did not exactly show a Joe Torresque ability to guide a team of high priced veterans. Maybe a young team is a better fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other NL manager worse with a double switch this millennium was Willie Randolph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Good for him, but that's a terrible job. Would of liked to see him get that Nats job... He couldn't deal with the Dodgers and wouldn't have dealt with The Nats well either. The Nats got the right guy in Baker, regrettably. Mattingly is better off in Miami. So there's some good news anyway for Mets fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warfish Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Watched the Nats beat ol' Don's Fish today. Good times. Was my first visit to Nationals Park (the new one). Trying to re-ignite an old love of baseball. Got to say, had a GREAT time, the stadium is awesome, experience was great, had great seats (first row in the outfield). And the guy two seats down......Sean Ellis's agent and his dad. I, of course, went in Nats Hat, Jets Hoodie. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Agent guys Dad make note of it, which is what led to his telling me about his son working for Ellis. Didn't get a chance to talk to the Son/Agent, he had a little kid with him and I didn't see any reason to interrupt, but still, pretty funny. Of all the folks to find at a random baseball game in DC.

Those are terrible seats ; the only way to watch baseball is behind the catcher ;lower or upper level . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
