Yes our team BA is under the Mendoza line but is somehow not the worst in baseball.

It’s no secret most of us saw this coming when management refused to open the checkbook this past off season. We just look overmatched out there and I don’t see much chance for improvement. Jerry’s inability to put together a truly competitive offensive roster sticks out like a sore thumb. I would advocate he needs to go now rather than later because he’s probably going to go “sell crazy” at the trade deadline.

Who the hell does he have to sell??? lol

I was wondering that, his prescious pitching?

[Vogelbomb]

What really chaps my ass is this management of Polanco. The guy stole a base on Monday night and slid head first. Yeah, he's really nursing his side. So cut to Tuesday he gets a rest day against a pitcher that he's 11 for 22 against. And with 4 innings of possible pinch hit duty with runners on base, not one time is he inserted.

Like wtf are you doing?

I don't care about not targeting FAs. Put the money into the current roster. But at least manage the team you have correctly. And when you recognize a problem like JP Crawford, Rowdy Tellez, Mitch Garver, Donovan Solano, Randy Arozarena, don't be stubborn and continue to run them out there night after night. Have a plan and execute it.

The management of this team is so god damn pathetic. I'm tired of it.

And Dan said pregame that he WAS available to PH.

It beggars belief. If he's out of today's lineup I might actually do some damage to my home. Just take this baseball bat I have and start breaking shit. It's something you can't control.

I'm really sick of the management strategy wherein you worry about the future and not the present. I'll take the game in hand right now, not the two games in August which you have no idea about. Polanco could get drilled in the hand or in the head or pull a hamstring in July and now that future is gone. If he can fucking swing the bat and throw the baseball and slide into 2nd base, I'm pretty sure he can play every day like you are FUCKING PAYING HIM TO DO!!

Its no different than any other baseball team. Baseball managers are interchangeable. There's really very little room for original thought.
