Managerial turnover

The
1974 Braves
had thrived under manager
Clyde King
upon his appointment July 24, going 38?25 to finish the year 14 games above .500. But the 1975 club fell under the break-even mark May 23 and never recovered. They were 58?76 (.433) and 31
1
⁄
2
games behind the
Cincinnati Reds
when King was fired on August 29, 1975. With only a handful of games left in the season, special scout
Connie Ryan
, a veteran former Braves' infielder and coach, was named to finish out the string, and the club performed even more poorly under Ryan, at 9?18.
For
1976
,
GM
Eddie Robinson
promised to hire a "firebrand" to replace the scholarly King,
[12]
and in October he selected
Dave Bristol
as the team's new skipper. Bristol, 42, had been the third-base coach of the
Montreal Expos
from 1973 to 1975 and had previously compiled a poor record (144?209, .408) with the 1970?1972
Milwaukee Brewers
. But he was hailed as an unsung contributor to "
the Big Red Machine
" Cincinnati dynasty, when, as
Sparky Anderson
's predecessor, he inserted into the lineup many of the players?like
Johnny Bench
,
Lee May
,
Tommy Helms
, and
Gary Nolan
?who proved to be key contributors to the Cincinnati championship clubs of the early 1970s. Bristol also had led the Reds to
first division
finishes in each of his three full seasons (1967?1969) as manager.
Said Helms upon Bristol's hiring by the Braves: "[Bristol] has a way of letting the players know how to win and what it's like to win. He's fiery and he's tough, but he's a ballplayer's man."
