Joe Maddon Welcome to the Hall of Fame!

[Nebula]

Let's face it. Joe Maddon is the reason why the Angels have a World Series trophy in 2002. Now he is going to bring the jinx Cubs a championship. Getting the Cubs to the fall classic is special. Hell of a coach!

[Brandon]

Any coaches in the HOF with just one WS?

Great first post.

Greetings from Chicago!

A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other ionized gases. Originally, nebula was a name for any diffuse astronomical object, including galaxies beyond the Milky Way

 

This dude is special.

Joe Maddon 2nd world series since he  handed the Angels their 1st championship, while Sosh has been fartting up the wind in the dug outs, playing outdated 80s baseball, when the rest of league is raise their level of play with analytics! Angels made a huge mistake in choosing Sosh over Dipoto, Sosh is living on borrowed time

[Brandon]

Welcome to the board, you'll fit right in.

Although, so many people here have a hard on for Sosh I wouldn't be surprised if you're one of those dudes.

Sosh isn't the only one living on borrowed time.

How much did Dipoto pay you to say that?

Oh yeah, except there are probably only about a billion nebulas in the universe, all formed the same way, all full of gas.

I think the Russians are f*****g with this this board too.

Probably takes 2 WS wins to make it to the HOF as manager. I think you meant Francona (may have 3 wins in 10 years after this one is over).

there are 23 managers that have been inducted into the hall because of their managerial prowess.   4 have won 1 WS.  4 have won 0 WS.  

Bochy is the only manager with 3 who isn't in as he's still active, but his .505 regular season win% is the second lowest among managers with more than 2.  The other is connie mack who had a regular season win% of .486.  But he managed for 53 years until the age of 87.  

Gene Mauch is the only manager with 24 or more years of managing without a WS title and he's the only one not in the HOF.  

Interestingly, Scioscia comps most closely to Leo Durocher.  Both with a similar regular season win%, both with 1 WS win.  MS behind him by 7 years managed.  If MS manages for another 7 years, he's pretty much a lock for the HOF.

Mike Scioscia's agent should be in the hall of fame.

bruce bochy has an eternity with an inept padre franchise to thank for his winning%, but he also has an inept padre franchise to thank for allowing him years of on the job training.

Seven more seasons takes him to 24 seasons as a manager.   Wins would be over 2,000, only a small fraternity has done that (Mack, McGraw, LaRussa, Cox, Torre, Sparky, Bucky Harris, McCarthy, Alston, and Durocher).  He would likely move above Durocher and Alston into the 9th spot on the Top 10 wins list.    Although Bochy and Francona are serious candidates as well for that Top 10 list ultimately.
