Pirates fire manager Derek Shelton

So Shelton losing 3 to Oli was the last straw for the Pirates. Wonder how many other managers Oli will take down during the season .

There are certain jobs that are just career killers. Any job with the Pirates or Marlins. The A's don't win, but they don't scapegoat their front office and field people.

Clint Hurdle lasted from 2011-2019

Classic example of a cheap (donkey) FO placing blame on the manager. Sounds familiar...

He was never going to have the talent there to compete. Ownership is just never going to support it

It's job that you get fired from. The candle is burning at both ends from day 1. 5 years is a pretty good run, after all, if they had any sense, Clint Hurdle would still be there.
