Max Scherzer, 2 No hitters in one year!

what a weird season for the nats...lots of injuries, scherzer tanking after ASG. matt williams the 2014 manager of the year just shows again how little impact a baseball's manager makes in the team's overall success. half the baseball's managers are idiots who are clueless to the modern game, and the other half just takes managerial directions from the analytics FO anyways...

I fully agree with this. Half of baseball organizations are clueless as well. Look at the Sox. WHY would you keep Ventura? There's no explanation other than keeping a yes man or a puppet who will do what is told. If they were smart they would have hired Gardy.

I agree that there's only so much a manager can do, but yet we see in the blogs and facebook posts all day long how angry fans will call for the firing of a manager because their team can't win.
