Ryno is my favorite baseball player of all time, I want him to get a chance based on my fondness for him, but I don't know much about his philosophy or approach. I too always seem to agree with Brenly and I think these Cubs teams, even when they've been good and make the playoffs, are weak on fundamentals, hustle and baseball IQ. If today Brenly was brought in to take over the team I'd love it. I'd love to see him kick a little ass and bring in a better approach. It's easier said than done, but I don't even hear Lou's staff talking big about the little things. When they do it doesn't sound legit to me.
It's not even about wanting Lou out for me as much as just wanting to see a manager who is obsessed with doing things "right" in there. I think Brenly is one of those guys, or at least he appears to be. Plus he's the right age in my mind, not too old and not too young, he knows the players throughout the system as well and anyone they'd hire, he has a ring and had a successful career, and he seems like he doesn't take much shit. Do it.
