  1. Their hitting is atrocious but the starting pitching is really good … their RP has been good some days, bad others … I mean, yeah, first place, in a last place division … all that balances out to a C for me. And while the players take some responsibility for this, even the manager to a lesser degree, I put most of this at the feet of the FO. We need better players. Period. Get us there. I’ve expended enough patience given where we came from.
  2. This is why I gave them a C. They balance out to average.
  3. The earliest Royce can be activated is the 29th. And I’m not sure how you get dishonesty in one quote from Rocco. We have a day off today so it makes sense to see how things are on Friday before making any decisions.
  4. Have you had it? I have, as I said, so your not likely comment is most definitely not clinical as I know for certain you aren’t my doctor
  5. I’ve had it and played through it, until I couldn’t any more. Probably wasn’t a bad case but I did eventually have to stop playing tennis and rest
  6. Good question ... I'll have Brock look into it
  7. I'm reminding you all not to drive this thread into a dumping ground, please. Yes, we are in frustrating times and being critical is warranted, but if you are going to post non-stop negativity beyond that, your posting privileges in this thread will be blocked.
  8. As if that’s a prerequisite. ‘Do what notoriousgod71 likes’, check. Do what RiverBrian wants. Check. Be who LastOnePicked wants. Check. Sorry, but Lol. Who knows what the criteria is. Doesn’t mean he can’t be let go at any time, I don’t find him particularly inspiring from my perspective in the cheap seats, but meh, whatever. I’m more concerned with the performers who aren’t performing. I don’t think that’s a manager issue. Could be an organization issue. If that’s the case, firing Baldelli will have little affect.
  9. Doesn’t mean he can’t be released. Contracts mean nothing. Players get DFA’d all the time, or outright released. Managers, too. Molitor was let go mid-contract. That said, I’ve always been pretty indifferent to the effect the manager has over difference-making wins and losses. Can they affect the outcome of a single game here and there? Yes. But you know who has the bigger affect over wins and losses? The players. How many games have we lost via not scoring in a bases loaded situation? How many times via BP implosion? A manager can’t swing the bat or pitch the ball for them. They can only play the hand they’ve been dealt. Change for the sake of change won’t change the outcome. Imo, unless there are serious clubhouse issues, which doesn’t seem to be the case.
  10. I just added it above and yep, he is in the lineup 🙂
  11. Was going to go with a Chief-like Ober/under post, then decided to leave the Dad jokes to the master. GO TWINS!
  12. As I said earlier in the thread, I thought so, too. But you are guessing at a favorable outcome. It could have worked or could have been worse. All I’m saying is there is no way to know. It’s easy to second guess.
  13. No way to know. It’s a hindsight call. It might have imploded, too
  14. I think I had them at about 85 wins ,,, hoped that maybe it would be higher after the first couple of weeks, but back down to reality.
  15. Tough loss. I might need a blizzard as consolation
  16. Well, that’s not exactly my definition of divine …
  17. Okay, two misses so far on calls, or is it three?
  18. Ack! Ack! Ack! Bases loaded … I can’t watch!
