But…What ever happened to Tom Kelly?

If Wilson is Lepidus, who is Octavian and who is Antony?

Sigh. “Buhner, Wilson, and Edgar could be brought in as a ‘triumverate’ bench coach crew.”

Sigh.

Should we be more surprised by this than the Hargrove decision? Meanwhile, Weaver continue to impress with five shutout innings. Should we be more surprised by this than the Hargrove decision?

I'm shocked, but can believe what I'm hearing. If he resigns when the M's are on a losing streak, it'll look like he's just a quitter, and/or a victim of a power struggle. If he quits when the M's are at the top of their game, he can avoid those criticisms a bit more gracefully. I was not a Grover fan, but I wish him well and think I'll actually respect his walking away sooner rather later if his burnout is real (and maybe even wonder why management didn't sense it and decline to bring him back this year -- it's not like he impressed anyone last year).

Well, ebcmc goes beyond that, and gets a big high five because he, or could he be a she, has reliable sources....way to go. Like others, I find the timing very odd. This is the best the M's have played during his entire tenure as manager, and now he quits....it does not make sense. I have to also wonder if there isn't something going on within his family that needs his attention....for example Andy Reid of the Eagles. I may not have liked him as manager, but I hope everything is ok with his family.

It's possible Hargrove is struggling with some personal issue, like depression - the comment about the "highs not being high enough and the lows being too low" sounds like a hint at something like that.

Between Baltimore and here, Grover may grown tired of trying to rebuild ball clubs -- and figured that once he'd gotten the team reasonably back on its feet, it was as good a time as any to get out. 162: The front-office conflict factor would lend itself to the “burn-out” theory.
