Managerial Changes

'94 EXPOS · 06-04-2017, 12:06 PM

In all of my years of OOTP I have never pulled the plug on a manager in mid-season.

I play MLB quickstart and bring back the Expos. It is currently year 2026. My current manager is George Lombard who I brought it in at the start of 2024. He was my plan B when Dave Roberts became too expensive. Lombard was able to take us all the way, winning the World Series. Coming back with a 'stacked' team for 2025, we won only 85 games. This year, we are in the race but still underperforming. I have tried 'everything' except making this switch. I would characterize my team as being Veteran (average age 28-29 yrs)

Lombard is an Easygoing Tactitian. Reputation is Average (his contract is up at the end of the year)

My two best options for replacement are:

Albert Bradley (my old AA team's manager) who is a Controlling Conventional manager with a Good reputation. No big league experience

Mike Matheny who is a Personable Sabermetric who also has a Good reputation. Matheny has won the Series with the Cards since 'real life' ended and has generally got decent win totals.

Your experiences? Thoughts?

So much of it is based on the personalities that you already and how talented your team is
