No, not at all like Baker and Piniella before him. EXACTLY like them(not in "style"). I was on the ESPN boards, and then here during those times...some of the very same types thought neither one of them could do no wrong their first few years based on "intangibles" and reputation/past records etc as well.. Maddon was a complete hack again tonight, and got his ass bailed out by dumb luck. lol @ managing yourself out of position players by the end of the 10th inning and NEEDING to put a pitcher in LF AGAIN. That's the coolest part. He didn't NEED to. Scissors was still on the bench.
