When will we even get to a world seriesis a good question ...
Since falvey and company took over and especially in 2019 when they hired baldelli i have stated many times , alot of time since the playoffs in 2019 that we could never get to the World Series with falvey and baldelli , baldelli wasn't a major league manager but just figure in the dugout that Falvey pulled the strings , falvey is incompetent , maybe not the first few years when he had molitor as manager , because molitor did alot of things he wanted to do and falvey definitely didn't like not having full control ...
Since baldelli was hired , something changed and falvey and company wasn't the same with falvey in complete control , he made trades , some good, some not so good , he spent money foolishly on free agents that showed no potential to helping the club win , just a roster spot ( gallo , Margot , pitcher Bailey , columbe , and a bunch more and a bunch of dumpster diving rejects ) ...
the owners are the problem too , they don't like baseball but want to have a competitive team to bring the fans to target field and make a profit ...
So I'll say it again , we will never be world champs with falvey in complete charge and with owners that don't like baseball ...
Baldelli is gone ( Thank God ) , falvey has lost all respect of the fans and maybe even the players , he definitely is getting bamboozled by other teams in trades and settling for second best ( this past deadline proved it , he could of done better and held out for painter for duran Philadelphia was desperate for a closer , maybe we could have got clements or Barger for varland and France from Toronto and so on , Stewart for outman , crazy ) , FALVEY SHOULD BE FIRED and we need new OWNERS ...
