After having to sweat through five additional games to reach 500 managerial victories, Torey Lovullo and the rest of the Snakes fanbase were really hoping for a nice easy 501st.

Today, that formula worked exceedingly well, but it’s still up in the air on whether or not that can be successful across the marathon that is a modern baseball regular season.
