I want to know about baseball.

I want to know about every single team.

I want to know about sad bass, some fan graphs, and about, oh, oh, tomm.

I want to know about baseball, presented by Patreon supporters of Effectively Wild.

Hello and welcome to episode 2405 of Effectively Wild, a Baseball podcast from Fangraphs presented by our Patreon supporters.

Well, there are no more managerial vacancies in the majors because the last one has been filled by its formerly interim occupant.

Lauren Schaefer liked his first taste of managing Naries so much that he's coming back for more.

And now as the permanent manager to the extent that any manager is ever permanent.

But Warren Schaefer, who replaced Bud Black, staying on in the job.

And you can't say that he didn't steer the Rockies in the right direction

because he did, I guess, relatively speaking. But Black had them 7 and 33. That's a 175 winning

percentage. And then under all Warren, 36 and 86, 295, that's a pretty significant improvement, which we probably can't credit entirely

to Warren Schaefer. It's probably just regression, but progress moving in the right direction.

Although, does this make you more or less optimistic, pessimistic about the direction of the

Rockies, if either, given that usually

you hire a new pobo and the pobo gets to pick their own people, right? And so does this maybe

indicate that de-pedesta, de-pobo, diPobo? I can't get, there's so many poobos and I can't keep them all straight.
