Minor League Manager Goes Nuts

He's just practicing. He wants Bobby Cox's job.

Roblefko, you mean Phillip Wellman - the former manager of the Minor League team the Mississippi Braves.

See, over here, if some guy makes himself look like a prat, someone comes on and drags him out of there, kicking and screaming if needs be. I'll bet he was regretting this as soon as he bent down to scrape mud over the plate. So he thought he'd best go down in style.

Wellman's meltdown was just the natural evolution of Joe Mikulik's classic routine...

As a manager it's up to you to to set the example to the team. If I was playing for that team, I'd be embarrassed whilst it was going on. I'd also not be able to take him seriously after that. He could never say that you blew it etc. It's only a game for goodness sake.

Mikulik's tantrum was better and more complete with that slide into 2nd base. This was a cheap knockoff.

The "grenade" was awesome though. Way cooler than anything Manny Stiles will ever do.

Mikulik's was better and more complete with that headfirst slide into second base.

Double post not intentional.

LOL THIS WAS F**KING WICKED - THANKS FOR THE POST - IF ONLY WE GOT THIS FROM THE NATIONAL LEAGUE COACHES!!!!!!!!!

God, sometimes I really miss Earl Weaver...

THAT CUBBY MANAGER"S GOT NOTHING ON EARL WEAVER WHY DID THEY SUSPEND HIM????

Throwing the rosin bag grenade was the highlight of Wellman's antics.
