We get it. When you've tied yourself to the position "managers don't matter in MLB, youve painted yourself into a corner of "Nothing is ever the manager's fault. Ever."
By definition, it CAN'T be.
The guy responsible for writing the everyday lineup.
The guy who makes every single pitching decision for 162 games.
The guy who watches Jorge Alcala turn a 4-0 lead into a 5-4 deficit. "Nothing he could do."
The guy who hasn't had the same lineup in back to back games in 6 years. Wow, can't believe nobody can maintain anything.
Maybe pull back from focusing on Manny Margot in one game, and take a larger look at the manager for once.
