It’s a situation no Major League manager wants to be in. A team that has the worst record in baseball. A team that cannot seem to find a way to produce runs. A young starting rotation that could be good if the lineup showed some support. All these things exist and the Marlins manager Don Mattingly still receives praise for a job well done.
This might be the last season in Miami for Donny Baseball, but it does not mean other managers and national media aren’t aware of the struggles he and his team have gone through this season.
