Jun 20 2051: New headcoach for the Kubbs - by HNKBL on August 12th, 2021
In a suprise move the Eau Claire Kubbs have fired their manager Joshua Battaglia and hired new manager Rufus Taylor.
General manager HNKBL explained to the media that the front office was happy with Battaglia but where more intrigeud with Taylor: "Joshua did an excellent job from the moment we hired him until today, but when Rufus became available we had to make a chose. Rufus is known in the baseball community as a good teacher of pitchers. Pitching has been our weakpoint and we like to see what Rufus can contribute in that department.
Obviously Battaglia was devastated when he heared the news but we believe that we chose for the manager with the higher upside"
