Donnie Watson
A real student of Tony LaRussa's style who's put his own spin on it. Famous for completely changing his approach based on the scoreboard. When his team's trailing, he'll push the action aggressively with steals and baserunning that would make you think he's a different manager entirely. But give him a lead, and he morphs into an ultra-conservative tactician who'll use his whole bullpen and defensive alignments to protect it. Players say they feel like they're playing for two different skippers depending on whether they're up or down
