I disagree. He gets outmanaged almost every postseason. The first one that comes to mind is 2002, when he started Julio Franco in all five games despite the fact the Braves faced four righties and Matt Franco hit .317 against righties that year.
Bobby Valentine also owned him in 1999. Just ask him WHOAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
I think Cox is a lousy in-game manager, but he deserves a ton of credit for the hand he displays over a 162-game season. He'll be in the Hall of Fame for that gift.
