Astros should hire Mike Scioscia as new manager

Showalter managing the cheaters would be classic.

Cheating meeting micro managing/tradition, kettle corn/popcorn material

Jokes aside, I don’t get why no teams have inquired with Sosh. He had a steady and largely successful run for 19 years at his first (and so far only) MLB managerial stop. I mean, Showalter and Gibbons? Gibbons has physically fought his own players (allegedly). Showalter would have an aneurysm over the three-batter rule.

I'm sure they've inquired.  I don't think teams are willing to pay as much for managers anymore and I'm sure MS would want a pretty hefty amount.

I know this thread was made to goof on MS, but a team would be hard pressed to find someone more capable of putting an end to any talk about a lack of integrity, or better at shielding his players from criticism and adversity than MS.

Dude is a war horse

I'm shocked that nobody has even given him an interview, not one with all of the openings this offseason, despite him hiring an agent to try and help get him a job. If he doesn't get an interview with the Astros, Red Sox, or Mets, it really seems like he's blackballed. Maybe the combination of not adjusting to sabermetrics and the 2015 powerplay with Dipoto has made him persona non grata.

or maybe he hasn't been interested in the openings that have been available so far.
