And Zimmer also gave them an extra day off after looking unprepared and unmotivated the week before. Bizarre decisions all around.
-
Let's also not forget that Zimmer hand picked this guy, despite the fact that Philly had an open OC position and still let him leave, and the fact that their styles were obviously likely to clash from the start.
-
Harper and Machado aren't even taking a call from Minnesota. You can't be a medium market in fly over country, AND a non contender, and expect to land one of those guys. Even just being one of the above is going to make it unlikely.

Harold Baines and Lee Smith are Hall of Famers
Mr. Brooks replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Other Baseball
I don't agree on Smith. If Smith is a hall of famer, then so is Joe Nathan. -
What ever happened to Mexico paying for the wall? I'm shocked, SHOCKED, that the right wing fanboys aren't calling out their hero for that lie.
-
Unusual sure. But this is not a usual situation.How many teams come into a season with the expectations this team did? Couple that with the fact that they are probably all gone if they miss the playoffs, and the sad, almost comical distinction that we saw on offense yesterday, and I personally don't see any way they don't fire him. The only surprise to me is that Spielman didn't tell Zimmer to go with him. I'm not sure I've ever seen an offense that bad, and that's not even adjusting for the talent they have. I mean, they did a play action to Murray, then turned around and threw it to him, straight toward the wrong endzone. Bizarre. Never in my life seen something like that, not even in a high school game.
-
I don't know how anyone could be shocked by this. They went out and signed a 28m/ year QB to go with Diggs, Thielen and Cook, and they basically get shut out by an ok, but not great defense? The week after scoring just 10 against another ok but not great defense? Zero creativity in the offense, dink after dunk after dink, constant routes short of the sticks on third down, constant Murray up the gut on short yardage. EDIT: Completely forgot about the mind boggling continued use of Treadwell, thanks Vanimal. If you bought rack of lamb, only to see your chef grind it up and make sloppy joes, you'd have to fire him. The offensive line is bad, but there is still way too much talent to get shutout by Seattle.
-
My fear is that squeaking into the playoffs will be enough to save their jobs. It shouldn't be. Ownership should remember what expectations were when they guaranteed $84 million to go out and upgrade QB.
-
We have to be the worst special teams in the league.
-
Thielen has to come back and get that ball, not wait for it to get to him.
-
Yikes. Judging by the very audible screams, that could be bad news for our already bad offensive line.
-
I didn't mean every part of their profile is an exact match, just that fringe MLB DH/1B is likely the best you can hope for from Rooker until he makes very significant gains with his k and bb rates.
-
Thielen was wide open, how is Cousins this bad?
-
And they'll still likely make the playoffs at 8-7-1, and think it's some kind of accomplishment.
-
Meanwhile, Will Hernandez has the highest PFF ranking they've ever given a rookie guard.
-
I'm not sure why they would. Unless he drastically turns around his k and bb rates, his CEILING is Tyler Austin.
-
Defilippo strikes again. How freaking hard is it to run a play that goes past the sticks? And running the ball on 4th down, unless it's a QB sneak, are you kidding me?
-
Take Zimmer with him.
-
I don't agree at all, he had a head start, and is running the opposite direction as the offense. I don't think anyone comes close to catching him.
-
That's over 19 years since I started working full time.
-
I don't agree with Zimmer. The balance wasn't the problem, the execution in the passing game is the problem. Running the ball isn't going to cure that.
-
Man, I just did the math and found out that if I'd just gone to work for 3 hours on Sunday's during football season, instead of NOT watching the Vikings win crap, I'd have an additional 27,360 dollars in my kids college fund. Sad.
-
Could be fluky, could be that a player with more spatial awareness moves his hand out of the way of the line drive and it's like nothing ever happened. We'll never know. As for the other one, I know a few people who ride dirt bikes, and they are nursing one injury or another every time I see them, because they tend to be thrill seekers who are drawn to risky behavior. That's fine, it's a free country and it's their body, but I don't consider it fluky, I consider it part of the lifestyle.
-
Why do you keep saying 35 million per year? What am I missing?

Mr. Brooks replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Other Baseball
He posted that because it's not very impressive from a DH. You can't compare it to guys who played defensive positions.
