you keep going on about that... but eh. I think the mediocre performance the last couple of seasons was the breaking point.

Terrible strategist.
Awful in the clubhouse.

Oh..and a straight up asshole.

How this guy kept his job so long I'll never know.

Molina wasn't a fan of him either. And Yadi is basically the Varitek of that clubhouse.
I was surprised Matheny was back this season.

Joh Mozeliak the GM threw Dexter Fowler under the bus questioning his attitude and energy a few days prior in an interview. Tried to walk it back and used Matheny as a human shield. Fuck them both and Bud Norris as well.

Remember, the Cardinals picked Matheny, with zero coaching experience at any level, over Terry Francona.
