Tampa's pitching coach is probably headed up here. Joe said he wished him well wherever he wound up. Uh huh.

Theo made it pretty clear yesterday that Maddon would have every coach back that he wanted, so clearly Maddon did not want Bosio back.

I bet he did not care for Bosio's comments about the plane ride to LA. I am sure there is more to it than that, but I can see Maddon not caring for this.

Hopefully this Hickey dude can cut out the walks and get Wilson back to his Detroit place.

Cardinals, Giants, and Twins in the mix for Hickey. Grew up in Chicago + reuniting with Joe = your new Cubs pitching coach and maybe a Schwarber - Archer trade in December.

Wow indeed, IIRC Bosio was a holdover from Quade and Renteria so he was in Theo's favor for a long time.

Agreed. Joe just needed an excuse.

Probably a mistake but not a surprise.

Definitely a surprise but who knows what goes on behind closed doors. Hope they keep Mike Borzello. That dude is a wealth of knowledge.

Seems obvious Hickey or John Farrell will be the new hire. Just gotta trust these guys know their shit.

Something was off with Bosio this year. First he pops off about Thames doing roids, whines about the tarmac... His pitchers were not good this year compared to years past. Something just seemed odd and it was almost like he mailed it in. I thought I heard reports that no one around the team was surprised by this move.

I think Bosio is a better pitching coach than Maddon is a manager. The tarmac thing is bush league, never should have had family on tbe flight.

Wow, Righetti was there forever, maybe all the way back to when Dusty managed.

You're not wrong. But again, this was six seasons of Bosio being a great pitching coach and then one year with bad command and he is canned? It's iffy, but there are some good pitching coaches out there at the moment. I like Bosio...I think he is fantastic. I'm not a big fan of this move, but they will be replacing quality with quality.
