Sarris: What makes Bruce Bochy and Joe Maddon great?
From SABR member Eno Sarris at FanGraphs on August 26, 2015:
With the Cubs in San Francisco to face the team just behind them in the wild-card race, it makes sense to compare the two managers. After all, they both ended up within the top five in a recent ESPN.com survey, and their teams have both found success in recent years. Though they were born just a year apart, their styles are different enough that they seem to be a study in contrasts.
Who better to ask about what makes them great than their own players and coaches and beat writers? Well, maybe unbiased observers can be more critical than our sample, but the task at hand is to delineate the managers’ strengths.
So, what makes Bruce Bochy great? What makes Joe Maddon great?
