Show Notes

Fired by Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak in a stunning and controversial move at the end of the 2021 season, Mike Shildt has rebounded in a big way by leading the San Diego Padres to the playoffs in his first season as their manager. And as we write this, the Padres are only two games behind the first-place Dodgers in the NL West with five games left to play. So a division title is still possible.

Under Shildt, the Padres have won 91 games and counting. This is their first 90-win season since 2010, and only their second 90-win campaign since 1998. And with Shildt making a significant difference in the dugout and clubhouse, San Diego will compete in the postseason for only the third time over the last 18 seasons.

Shildt's impressive resume as manager continues to grow. He made history this week, which I explain in the video. So far in his big-league managing career, Shildt has a higher career regular-season winning percentage than some of the illustrious names in MLB history ... and a higher career winning percentage than that of Tony La Russa, Whitey Herzog and Red Schoendienst.

For more info and perspective, please watch the video and feel free to comment.
