What a surprise, Jerry Brewer is recycling his Ty Willingham talking points to defend a loser black coach.
There’s nothing wrong with this hire. The Mariners chose a good person for their situation. McClendon is a well-respected baseball mind. He has a good history as a hitting coach, which is the Mariners’ weakness. He did a decent job in his first managing gig with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He was fired after posting a .430 winning percentage in five seasons with the previously befuddling Pirates, which is hardly cause for concern. In Joe Torre’s first managing job, he had a .405 winning percentage in five seasons with the New York Mets. Casey Stengel? A .453 winning percentage at his first stop.
This guy is such a clown for a writer and so predictable too.
He is even worse on the radio which I didn't think was possible.

When people bring up reverse racism there is a picture of Jerry Brewer. This article reminded me of his pro Ty articles. Loves how he said McLendon did a decent job despite having a .430 winning percentage.
I really like McLendon. He just needed more time in Pittsburgh. Just like with Ty, you can't judge his record because he didn't have very good talent. I think with a proven hitting coach like him, the Mariners might hit .240 this year.

McLendon will have managed for the two worst organizations in his first two jobs.
