Miami Marlin Manager Mayhem (a kwiz)

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Inspired by my own ignorance of there being a new manager in Miami, let's play "Name the Marlins Managers" I will gibe you the years served you make the guesses. No double dipping or cheating. some answers may require you guess by number. *-are interim guys with very short tenures.



1, 1993-66

2. 1996*

3. 1996

4. 1997-98

5. 1999-01

6. 2001

7. 2002-03

8. 2003-05

9. 2006

10. 2007-10

11. 2010-11

12. 2011*

13. 2011

14. 2012

15. 2013-15

16. 2015

17. 2016-22

[Cowtipper]

Jack McKeon

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

which number answer is McKeon

[Cowtipper]

5?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

wrong. get back in line

[Cowtipper]

7?

Edited April 1, 2025 by Guest

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

ok

[Cowtipper]

I edited my post above. I can name a lot of the managers, but probably not the actual number.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I'm only asking in this case because McKeon (and one other Marlins manager) had non-consecutive tenures as Marlins managers.



So far you've missed McKeon twice

[Cowtipper]

#8? If it was, then it was later than I thought.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Mattingly was 17. I associate his tenure with the awful Jeterification of the franchise --- that is the aesthetic and philistine ruination of the stadium and disappearing the art deco neon uniforms and outfield pop art sculpture.



The Marlins executed a brilliant and beautiful rebranding in 2012 and that fucking Jeter destroyed it to put his own bland vanilla face on the franchise.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Rene Lachemann, No. 1

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I wouldn't have guessed this but Mattingly managed almost twice as many games as any other Marlin skipper



1, 1993-66 Rene Lachmann (Marshmallow)

2. 1996*

3. 1996

4. 1997-98

5. 1999-01

6. 2001

7. 2002-03

8. 2003-05 Jack McKeon (cowtipper)

9. 2006

10. 2007-10

11. 2010-11

12. 2011*

13. 2011

14. 2012

15. 2013-15

16. 2015

17. 2016-22 Don Mattingly (Batmags)

18. 2023-24

[Edgy MD]

Number 11 is Jeff Torborg of the Plainfield Torborgs.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

Hall-of-Famer Jim Leyland led them to the World Series in 1997, making him No. 4.

[Edgy MD]

Number 14 is Ozzie Guillen.

11 is not correct

Edited April 1, 2025 by Guest

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

The low-hanging fruit is Skip Schumaker, No. 18.

Edited April 1, 2025 by Guest

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

that is correct.



Torborg is a right answer, I'm gonna slide him in where he belongs at No. 7

[Cowtipper]

I seem to recall #15 or 16 being Dan something. He was a front office guy with no experience that took the helm and that ruffled some feathers.

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

I don't know if you are counting Cookie Rojas's one-day reign as interim as one of the asterisks. Cookie Rojas, former Mets coach, is the namesake of my cat!

[Frayed Knot]

John Boles was the guy I've been trying to think of. That's gotta be him in the 2007-2010 slot (#10)

The novelty of him was that he was a nerdy front office type who became the first manager to have never played professional ball on any level.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Marshmallow is crushing this quiz



Boles is the other guy with 2 tenures as Marlins manager but neither one was 07-10. I'm giving you the first reign



Dan something is right but 16 not 15.

[Frayed Knot]

Boles II was 99-01 (#5)

[Gwreck]

Girardi is #6. Won Manager of the Year.

[Edgy MD]

Joe Girardi was number nine, but his testosterone-fueled style was too attractive to the Yankees, who invoked their eminent domain rights and seized him up.

[Gwreck]

Oops! I knew that. Good correction.



Mike Redmond, another one of the former-catcher-turned-managers should be #15.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Redmond is a guy I'd completely forgotten.



It really seemed like the Yankees directed that Girardi get experience in Miami

I have a soft spot for the Marlins. I was able to see their first two games, and one of the World Series games. They train in Jupiter, where my parents live, so I get to see them in spring training or the Jupiter Hammerheads, their Florida State League team. We get to go to a game in Miami once in a while - usually when the Mets are there. Plus, they generally pose no threat to the Mets - with notable exceptions.



They do run through managers. They actually had Brandon Hyde for a bit. Lucky for the orioles. I think he was No. 13.
