OAKLAND -- Before Saturday, Ron Reonicke figured his next chance to wear a big league uniform would materialize in the offseason. Then, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly called and three days later Roenicke is coaching third base for the Dodgers.
"It’s hard to just sit home when you’re not supposed to be home," Roenicke said.
Roenicke was fired as Brewers manager on May 3 after a 7-18 start in his fifth season at the helm in Milwaukee, a tenure that included a division title and a trip to the NLCS. Before that he was on Mike Scioscia's staff in Anaheim for 11 years.
