... I'm not really seeing an interim guy who could take over.
So, he does get the rest of the year, it appears.
Only thing I can think of is that he needs to follow Crash Davis's approach and start yelling and scaring them.
"Skip: “You guys, you lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Larry?”
Larry: “Lollygaggers.”
Skip: “Lollygaggers! What’s our record, Larry?”
Larry: “Eight and 16.”
Skip: “Eight and 16. How’d we ever win eight?”
Larry: “It’s a miracle.”
Skip: “It’s a miracle. This is a simple game. You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball. You got it?"
Because I do think there's more talent on this team than 0-12.
