Manager Watch: Mariners interview Chip Hale - Lookout Landing
some nice zingers in this guy's piece:
"Who calls the shots? Is Jack Zduriencik reading off a post-it note...does Chuck Armstrong skype in to meetings with his own spot at the table reserved for an open laptop screen?"
"it feels a little weird that their first announced interview is the same guy that interviewed for the job in 2008, coming off a disappointing season that saw them lose more games than expected after a rebuild seemed to be on the right page a year before. Where have I heard this...I don't...hmmm..."
"Or perhaps the thing that kept them from hiring Hale then and going with Wakamatsu is now an accepted part of their thinking, representing (gasp) an ability to adapt one's thinking and process in the face of continued failure. What's that thing they say about insanity?"
