Schumaker seems like a good fellow - husband, father, and baseball guy. My preference, as I suspect most Marlins fans, I suppose, is for managerial continuity - with Schumaker. The consensus opinions of managers (players' manager, disciplinarian, etc,) fall under some limitations since most of us can never experience direct interaction as a MLB player. Many Expos fans hold on to the Felipe Alou mystique of a players' manager who draws out latent talent. Some of this is undoubtedly tied to Spanish communication ability and cultural understanding. Still, I think managerial temperamental "difference" can't be more than a few games a year (like Chisholm's WAR). I am not referring to in-game managerial moves. Yes, some managers are more astute than others. Still, as with players, managers move on quite often - so we shouldn't get too attached. Have our favorites, of course. But given the reality of the game, having constantly wounded hearts over the departures of players and managers is odd to me. I wish the best to this fellow in San Francisco or wherever he lands. As Mish noted, there are only thirty MLB managerial spots, so one never knows for sure about immediate openings and the fit for Schumaker, despite "manager of the year" on the resume.
Wasn't to happy with him when he unloaded on Sixto in a press conference about his 1st inning struggles. That was something best left in the managers office. If a player went off about a managers decisions to the media he would be gone that night.

You know trading Luis for a bag of peanuts eats away at skip everyday. Me too skip. Me too. 💔
