You don't seem to know a whole lot about Francona.
Pete Alonso with a huge 3 run HR in the 9th to win it for the Mets.
Power is low-hanging fruit to add. It won't make a difference in the playoffs. Right Atkins? LMAO.

Unfortunately other then Bobby Cox Jays never have had a proven manager. I doubt even if they tried Franky, because of his health issues would've even came to Canada.

I mean he probably saw enough of both Shapiro and Atkins during his stint with Cleveland, so why go through that again?
He made the right choice.

He made the right choice.
This may be in jest but he literally had an out clause in his contract with Cleveland that triggered in the event Shapiro and/or Antonetti left the org. One thing Shapiro does right is his unwavering loyalty to his staff. Maybe that’s to a fault but clearly there was a lot of respect and admiration within that org for him.

Oh I'm sure there's ample respect and admiration from around the league, for Francona's career, and deservedly so.
Just didn't think he'd want to join his former bosses up here, that's all, especially considering what's become of the Jays since they took over.
Definitely strikes me as one of those guys who was told he had to step away, did it, then about halfway through 2024 decided retirement is kinda boring.
It does at least sound like he made positive strides towards fixing his health though. Since if memory serves he admitted he didn't even have enough stamina to be a manager at points. I don't think he'd come back if it was still that bad.

So tired of Atkins. He’s had 9 years. Disappointing that he is coming back. Must have nude photos of Shapiro.

Gibby was an outstanding manager imo.

I know that some don't agree, but Cito Gaston was a good manager.

With those rosters, I’m pretty sure Charlie Montoyo could have won.

While that may or may not be true there is absolutely something to managing personalities and Cito was great at it and it was really needed on those squads.

Is it just me or the Yankees just don’t look that scary at all. If Judge isn’t hitting they ain’t scoring. I wouldn’t be surprised if KC wins both games at home. Also I found the crowd last night to be extremely quiet. I remember back in the early 2000’s Yankee stadium was rocking. Nothing like it nowadays

How did they score so many runs during the regular season? Their lineup other than Judge and Soto seems underwhelming.

Because lineups that are built this way (2 guys and no one else, last year it was Judge and no one else for the Yanks) generally do not succeed in the playoffs.
