As much as I have been an advocate for change at the top, because I believe to change how an organization works must come from the top down, I think firing Ryan mid-season could be disastrous. The season is underway ... who takes over for him at this point? Antony? Is that better right now? No. So in my opinion, I think it's better for him to finish the season, unless they already know/have someone to step in other than Antony. So I don't see Ryan being fired ... yet ... unless it gets really, really, really bad. We're only at one really for me. A very disappointing really, but only one. Others would get fired ahead of Ryan. When I look at how the season has unfolded so far, the most disappointing thing for me is runs scored and all the strikeouts. Whose fault is that? Is it Bruno's? Is it the players'? Some combination. For me, that's where I'd start ... not sure exactly what decision to make here, but that's where I'd start. Does one or two or three get sent down? Do we make a trade? Is Bruno gone? Or some combination of the three? But that's where I'd start. But do you let it go for a bit, just to see if it rights itself? How long do you wait? I'm guessing that at the end of the month if the results haven't tipped the other way, we start seeing movement somewhere. Same withe BP. It's a close second, but not as disappointing as the bats. But maybe that's because I didn't have higher expectations because of what it is. Starting pitching ... I've actually been somewhat okay with that, happy even. They've kept us in games. The bats have failed. As far as firing Molitor, who knows. I've often felt that firing managers mid-season was a scapegoat-ish thing to do. While he's made some ... interesting ... calls, if he's fired, it won't be until mid-season and we are so far gone, it's the thing to do. I don't know. They waitied until after the 3rd bad season with Gardy, not sure if they wouldn't let Molitor ride it out. All I know is that I wouldn't make any hasty decisions this early in the season, even though we are 0-7.
