#Mlb all time manager wins series
He helped the Dodgers to pennants in 19 and to the World Series championship in 1981. He also played on the San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics. Maybe La Russa decides to take a step back once he returns and lets Cairo do the managing while he stays in the background.Dusty Baker is a Major League Baseball (MLB) manager, who currently manages the Houston Astros, and a retired baseball player.Īs a baseball player, he had a 19-year career as a hard-hitting outfielder, primarily with the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers. The old adage of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” could be a good one to use for this team if its fortunes change for the better. If it is all about doing what’s best for the team, and a new voice on the bench is helping the team look like the contender most thought it was to start the season, then why not stick with it to see where it goes? 500 mark since the All-Star Game last season. Still, it is something to consider should the White Sox do a 180-degree turn from the team that has hovered around the.
In all likelihood, Cairo is just keeping the seat warm until La Russa makes his way back. So, if the team plays better than it has and finds itself on the brink of the playoffs, would it be best to let Cairo see things through to the end?Ĭhances are that if La Russa is cleared to return, he will be back in the dugout. Still, the White Sox came back to win the game and pick up ground on first-place Cleveland who lost to Seattle.
Kelly has had a rough go of things this season coming out of the bullpen and his starting the game nearly backfired on Cairo as Kelly lasted only one inning, giving up two runs on two hits. However, if Cairo is looking to make a name for himself as a guy who could take over a team, he may want to avoid making a decision as he did on Friday by having pitcher Joe Kelly start in place of the injured Michael Kopech. They have put themselves back in the playoff hunt. It is very early to make a call on Cairo’s future but he is in the position of taking what has been a significantly underachieving team and getting them to play better. Should Cairo get this team to start playing to its potential, it might be the type of audition that could lead to his taking over the team next year if the ballclub opts to replace La Russa who still has a year left on his contract. The team has shown some fire and played well under Cairo and should they continue to do that, it could make for an interesting decision on what to do with La Russa when or if he returns to the team.
It might be time for Miguel Cairo to be the full-time head coach of the White Sox. Once the dust settled, Cairo was ejected for arguing with the umpires about why both teams were issued warnings. That passion was evidence on Friday against Minnesota when the benches cleared in the ninth inning after Andrew Vaughn was hit in the left shoulder on a pitch from Twins reliever Jorge Lopez.Īs the teams middled about near the pitcher’s mound, things heated up between Cairo and Twins manager Rocco Baldelli as the two started exchanging words. Perhaps as important as the wins are, the fire the team seems to be showing which has been lacking for most of the season. The White Sox announced on Wednesday that La Russa would be out indefinitely but did not elaborate on the cause of his ailment.Ĭairo was handed the reigns of the team and although they lost the first game against the Royals, the White Sox responded by winning four in a row heading into Sundnay’s matchup with the Twins. Manager Tony La Russa has been out since last Tuesday when he left Guaranteed Rate Field with an undisclosed medical issue just prior to the White Sox series opener with the Kansas City Royals. Does the same apply to managers if players can lose their starting positions due to injury? The Chicago White Sox could find themselves facing that very question if they play well enough to be in a position to win the American League Central division under interim manager Miguel Cairo.
