[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1797607, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/jeff-gordon/tipsheet-royals-fire-matheny-after-suffering-massive-regression/article_83cc75f1-090d-56ec-ac19-e62625af0afe.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/Jeff%20Gordon']Jeff Gordon[/URL] At least the Kansas City Royals didn’t let Mike Matheny twist in the wind. Executive vice president/general manager J.J. Picollo gave Matheny the short haircut after the team’s regular season finale. Pitching coach Cal Eldred also got clipped and wholesale change is expected throughout the baseball operation. The Royals staggered to a 65-97 finish this season, when they were supposed to take a big step forward with their young talent. That failure prompted owner John Sherman to fire president of baseball operations Dayton Moore, the man who hired Matheny, and promote Picollo late in the season. At that point Matheny became a Dead Manager Walking. [/QUOTE]
