    Hand it to Chandler and Jones now.
  2. TheLeviathan
    3 still keeps it a two score game.
  3. TheLeviathan
    This is where KOC needs to calm this game down with a nice drive.
  4. TheLeviathan
    Agreed. I trust this FO and coaching staff. I think they are about the same this year and much better prepared to win it all sometime in the next five years.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Green Bay surged on the snap, sometimes the defense just times it.

    I think lineup and pitcher management is organizationally driven. I can't give you a shining endorsement or raging objection to an MLB manager in 2024. I truly don't think they matter in the analytical era. I think all the focus and consternation on that front is misguided. Fans often like to pretend they have all the answers to how the cake is baked. Most of the time we're just reacting with emotions because we're on the outside looking in.

    Well, there is room to interpret what this "quit" is about. We have Correa and Ober both on the record scoffing at the notion it has anything to do with Baldelli. What you're describing is hard to argue both for or against, wouldn't you agree? I understand what you're seeing and you may well be right that this is what happened, but we're too far removed from the psyches of the players, no?
  8. TheLeviathan
    I understand taking a shot on 2nd and 1, but Darnold has to deliver that ball as a TD or nothing.
  9. TheLeviathan
    That's fair. Certainly possible, but I'd be surprised if that was how it worked out.
  10. TheLeviathan
    KOC crushing it on the challenges.
  11. TheLeviathan
    You can. It's a godsend when you bring kids!

    It depends on how you feel about the role of the manager. I'm in the camp that thinks (especially in the modern game) that managers have little impact on the in-game decision making and overall philosophies. They inact organizational philosophies consistently instead. So if you have a problem with the way things are decided, then your issue is less with the manager and more with the FO. Where the manager does have an impact is in the clubhouse. And to that end...all of his players (current and former) rave about him. So he seems to be doing that part, but I don't know enough. Maybe he's not. I'd like to see him institute more in terms of working on pregame routines and fundamentals. But if we're being honest, those are things that should be worked on before they show up in the big league clubhouse. All told, I'm good with either decision here. If this FO stays and had replaced Rocco, the replacement would just make the same decisions IMO. If they keep him, ditto. I don't see much changing from an in-game strategy perspective until the people at the top change.
  13. TheLeviathan
    Most likely, yes. You wouldn't confirm that to the media is you were replacing his bosses I'd think.
  14. TheLeviathan
    This offense still doesn't have Hockenson yet either. Man they are good.
  15. TheLeviathan
    How about keep imagining on behalf of the Packers that Love is ready to be out there. Low throws from fading back is gonna get more of his guys killed.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Well now you blew it! The jinx was working! :)
  17. TheLeviathan
    We need to collapse the middle, he cant plant and drive.
  18. TheLeviathan
    This is the first OL winning the battle against our front.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Agreed! But maybe if they asked all the unicorns they may move the needle over time?
  20. TheLeviathan
    Yeah, I tend to agree with that. I'm hopign the Wolves and Wild (who are both due soon) either stay out of Minneapolis (Wild) or move out (Wolves). Still, given how they built, I think Target Fields' location on 394 was brilliant. It really is much easier than most stadiums.
  21. TheLeviathan
    So help me out, which part did you disagree with? I'm not sure on what premise you were taking issue with. I understand your point about Minneapolis being stretched too thin/overstuffed, I wouldn't disagree with that.
  22. TheLeviathan
    Dave St. Peter has earned his firing for 20 years. He's also the person I expect to see die in his role before he's ever removed.
  23. TheLeviathan
    Let's hope this year they get the budget number in November and not February. Then let's hope they do a better job allocating the restricted dollars than Margot/DeScalfini/etc.

    While we're at it, Bailey Ober: We’re the ones performing out there and didn’t get the job done,” Ober said. “He’s putting out the lineups and we’re trying to do it. I feel like most of the blame should be on the players. But everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. If the players hear that, I don’t think anyone’s agreeing with that. It’s like, seriously, can’t you see what’s going on? He’s not the one at fault for this mishap that happened. We didn’t get it done.”
  25. TheLeviathan
    As many have said, the focus should be on ownership. They want to be the Rays by their own admission. We need more heroes like this one: The Pohalds banned him for a year and tried to have him arrested.
