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
18. 2023-24

[Cowtipper]

Jack McKeon

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

which number answer is McKeon

[Cowtipper]

5?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

wrong. get back in line

[Cowtipper]

7?

[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.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

that's correct

18. 2023-24 Skip Schumaker (marshmallow)
19. 2025 Clayton McCollough

11 is not correct

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

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

[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.
