    Fun game to watch and glad they won. Now let's take it to the Giants this weekend. They need to be competitive against the better teams to avoid a repeat of last year. Lee looked rough at 2B yesterday. Rocco quit moving him around, keep him at 2B. If Lewis needs to DH, play Castro or Bride at 3B. Not everybody can move around, let Lee get comfortable and settled in at one position.

    And they are bad decisions at the rate Rocco makes them. Yet you want to blame only the players.
  3. karcherd
    Did the players play in on their or did Rocco call that from the dugout not once but twice. Did France go on contact yesterday on his own. These are just two examples of Rocco not giving his players a chance to be successful. Yes Correa needs to play better, but he is not the reason we have the record we do.

    And whose job is it to make sure the younger players continue to develop so they perform the way they should. Whose job is it to put players in a position to succeed. In my opinion that is on Rocco and he and his staff does not do these things well.

    And how many batters has he put away, none.
  6. karcherd
    I have seen enough of Paddack, put Festa in his spot and move him to the bullpen.

    Rocco, throw away your spreadsheet. Quit playing the infield in every time there is a runner on third. Sometimes you have to give up a run to get an out. Instead you just cost us two runs.

    Who do you think has the responsibility to hire these additions. It's Falvey of course and he hasn't done it yet so what makes you think it will happen in the future. They made Levine a scapegoat for the front office at the end of last season and still didn't make any significant moves in the offseason. Let's see what France and Bader do over the course of a whole season not one month before they are considered a success. Falvey needs to go because they need a fresh review of the whole organization and that won't happen until he is gone which won't happen unless we get new ownership.

    They are not going to option Lewis to the minors. He can only be on a rehab assignment for so many days, I believe 20 before he has to be activated. At that time he will be up here, so let's not drag it out and giving AB's to these vagabond veterans they are throwing at us.

    Royce needs to be here tomorrow. He is better than our four bench players and Julien. Bring up McCusker or Prato, they have to do something. This is not a major league lineup and you just can't keep running it out there and hope for different results. And yes I know Royce may not be a savior but he is a better then a third of the players on the roster now.
  11. karcherd
    Casas could have been called out for interference, he was running outside the lane the whole time.
  12. karcherd
    At this point, call up McCusker, we need offense, at least find out if he can provide it. You know Clemens and Gasper won't.
  13. karcherd
    How can you take an organization seriously when they run Gasper out there as the DH, he doesn't even belong in the major leagues.
  14. karcherd
    Today he threw one fastball to the 2, 3, and 4 hitters. He threw mostly his sweeper and changeup. This may be true for other games but not for today. He looked good and retired easily two of their top hitters.

    He is actually the number four pitcher on this team. I want to set the pitching up to be successful this year and the years going forward. The best way to do that is to put Paddack in the bullpen and put one of the one youngsters in the rotation. You will get the same production from the starting pitching and may actually improve the bullpen, that is where Paddack's value. This way you find out what you have in your pitching pipeline. And if you have to go down to your number 9 or 10 pitcher, you can stretch him back out and move him back. You can't just look at one game, look at what sets the organization up for success and running Paddack out there every 5 days for 5 innings does not do that. And yes the offense needs to continue the progress made against the sisters of the poor.
  16. karcherd
    If they are not going to trust Paddack to go a third time thru the order, he needs to go to the bullpen. I want somebody with more upside in that slot. We can not continue developing pitchers to only go 4 or 5 innings. It is not sustainable over the course of a season. And by using 5 pitchers a game, the odds are one will be off that game. And keep Duran for the 9th, he is your best reliever, keep him pitching in the 9th.
  17. karcherd
    And Festa's ERA in the same time frame is 1.38. So if this is the criteria you want to use Festa should have stayed in the rotation. If we are only get 4 or 5 innings out of Paddock, we would be better off moving him to the bullpen and putting Festa or Matthews in the rotation. There is more potential upside with them.
  18. karcherd
    If this is what we are going to get from Paddock, give the spot to Festa or Matthews. There is more potential upside.

    How can Rocco still be the manager of this team on Tuesday. Whether it is all him or not, this team has no life and hasn't since August. This can not continue, this is so painful to watch.
  20. karcherd
    Varland threw 6 pitches, how can you not bring him out for another inning, Duran can pitch the 8th.
  21. karcherd
    Ober is probably done, it will be too many times to get up and down in one game when he is not used to it.
  22. karcherd
    Will it be Duran or Jax in the 8th. He likes Jax to face the middle of the lineup.
  23. karcherd
    I forgot to include the sarcasm emoji
  24. karcherd
    Bring Louis back for the seventh.
  25. karcherd
    Remember Rocco is the smartest and best manager in baseball.
