Jon FrischHOST
Perry Manassian wanted...
Jon FrischHOST
He never really got to pick his manager, right? Because it was Joe Maddon when he got here, and then they just kind of rolled over and picked Phil Nevin because they were like, why not? Was it Ron
Mike FrischHOST
Washington, though? Do you think that was his guy?
Jon FrischHOST
He does get to pick Ron Washington.
David KaplanHOST
I know I did
Jonathan HoodHOST
on Joe Maddon.
Jonathan HoodHOST
Well, it's all fair.
Jonathan HoodHOST
We don't live in Phoenix.
Erik KratzHOST
Yeah.
Erik KratzHOST
I asked Joe Maddon about it, too.
Erik KratzHOST
He comes on the show, and he was like, "Uh, kind of slipped our mind." As the, as the, as the...
Erik KratzHOST
Being on the other side with the Brewers, I don't feel like it slipped their mind.
David KaplanHOST
The analytics team and Chris Getz, the whole conglomerate come together.
David KaplanHOST
This is not a veteran manager like Aaron Boone or Joe Maddon or Dusty that have that au- or T- Francona, that have that autonomy.
David KaplanHOST
He is told, "Here's how I wanna use the bullpen today." They don't tell him when to bunt.
David KaplanHOST
They're not radioing down to the dugout, "Hey, lay a bunt down here." That, you can't do.
Shane OrlingPANELIST
Oh, God
David KaplanHOST
...
David KaplanHOST
Joe Maddon tried to do with Schwarber, and they ended up sending him back to the minors.
Jonathan HoodHOST
If I had a dollar for every call I had about Schwarber or Soriano at the top of the lineup and how that was wrong, oh.
Mike DiGiovannaHOST
Yeah, it's going to be interesting how they handle this situation moving forward.
Mike DiGiovannaHOST
I remember, was it four? It's got to be at least four or five years when I think Joe Maddon was there and the first day of spring training, they said, we're moving Trout to the corners.
Mike DiGiovannaHOST
And Trout did not respond.
Mike DiGiovannaHOST
Yeah, he did not respond well to that.
Bernie MiklaszHOST
And I'm assuming Marmal's going to finish...
Bernie MiklaszHOST
under 500 i think he'd have to win four out of the final five games we'll see but that would make him look even better if he does let me repeat since 1961 the expansion era uh he has third best winning percentage among 43 major league managers that had a record under 500 over a stretch of five consecutive seasons The only skippers who did better, and they literally, right now, to this point, only did 1% better than Ali Marble, were Joe Maddon and Tampa Bay from 2006 through 2010, and Chuck Tanner, remember him? With the White Sox from 1970 through 1974.
Bernie MiklaszHOST
Marble's current five-season winning percentage, even though it is a 498 winning percentage, if we compare it to other stretches where a manager was in place for five consecutive seasons and had a losing record to show after those five consecutive seasons, he's got a better winning percentage than some of the managers did the same thing that he's doing now, except that they also went on to win a pennant or a World Series or both.
Bernie MiklaszHOST
That group includes Madden, Chuck Tanner, Jim Leland, Jim Fregosi, Ned Yost, Joe Torre, Phil Garner, Clint Hurdle, and Torre Lovallo.
Tom VerducciHOST
[upbeat music] Hey there, and welcome back.
Tom VerducciHOST
It's The Book of Joe podcast with me, Tom Verducci, and of course, Joe Maddon.
Tom VerducciHOST
Uh, Mr. Maddon, we are in the last days of the regular season, the last week of the regular season, heading to the postseason.
Tom VerducciHOST
What was always y- your, uh, vantage point here, uh, for a team looking to play postseason baseball, planning ahead? How did you want to handle the last week?
Charles Q. Brown Jr.GUEST
Because it's going to be hard for anybody to recommend you for a better position if you're not doing a good job, even if some of those things are maybe a position that may not be as popular or the one that you thought you should have had.
Adam MendlerHOST
You're based in Tampa, and I did an interview with a legend within the Tampa Bay Rays history, one of the greatest managers in modern baseball history, Joe Maddon.
Adam MendlerHOST
And something that Joe Maddon shared, the exact same thing that you shared, you never know who's watching you.
Adam MendlerHOST
And the example that he gave was, He was out of baseball working at a liquor store.
Adam MendlerHOST
He was a lousy minor league player and was trying to figure out what he wanted to do with the rest of his life and had never even thought about coaching.
Lawrence HolmesHOST
And he cried because there was a level of appreciation.
Lawrence HolmesHOST
I played a clip of Joe Maddon talking about how much he really enjoyed the way that Nicholas went about his work.
Lawrence HolmesHOST
That there was a joy and an excitement that he played with every single day.
Lawrence HolmesHOST
And when I played it back for Castellanos, he cried.
