Pat Murphy rose up to the ranks of MLB manager through college baseball and
some international baseball experience. Along the way, he was tough,
different, did not care bout other coaches and he discusses all the mistakes
he made along the way. He also talks about being a big-league manager and
bench coach. 1000 wins in college baseball in 25 years but not well-liked at
the start of his career. Pat Murphy a straight shooter. Things discussed:
How he has changed and why?. When did that change come? Shares his mentors,
Lou Holtz, Harvey Dorfman, and others. Using humor nowadays to keep players
more relaxed. What players care about? How to teach players to deal with
failure. How you changed as a college coach to MLB Coach? Bench coach
responsibilities prior to the series or game. Bench coach responsibilities
during the game. That communication between bench coach and manager during
the game. What did you expect from your bench coach? Players changed or game
changed? Unwritten rules you or the game no longer follows. Pat reference
Joes Maddon a few times, very interesting. Umpire Manager relationships.
Managing the game 3 times. Making lineups? And so much more.
