Probably due to Duncan's issues at home....his wife's illness that kept him out most of september. TLR has said before he'll coach as long as DD will be his pitching coach. Perhaps DD indicated to TLR he wasn't coming back? Or perhaps Pujols told TLR he definitely isn't coming back? Either way I'm sad to see TLR go.
Scary thing is to step back and see the comparison to the Rams championship and DV's abrupt retirement. :bummed: :what:
