Yeah, I wouldn't have used JK to pinch-K. I made the comment when the M's were coming up to bat in the bottom of the 9th that all they had left on the bench was Fairchild and Kelenic

Dilly - Toro - Frazier are last hope.
On the bench? Fairchild & Kelenot
Can anybody get on for France Julio & Crawford?

Oops, there's JK for Dilly.......my eyes are squeezed shut.

I want JK to go into the skipper's office and ask to be sent to Tacoma. Not just humility but wuth the clear realization that he is harming the team on a daily basis.

Kelenic and Raleigh need to be in Tacoma or Arkansas. There is reason to think thiugh that Toro and Torrens will come around eventually although they aren't going to be much better than replacement level.

So JD addresses our issues and sends Walton and Ford to the Giants for . . . wait for it . . . a pitcher

Jerry needs to own this. It’s his brainchild and the diaper needs changing

[acctingman]

Sorry, but 99.9% of us would be fired if we failed at our job like Dipoto has. He's failed. Period. End of discussion. Ownership needs to sell to folks who give a shit too. Let's start there.

I agree. Sadly they must be fine with this arrangement it’s been 45 yrs

Dipoto literally ends every sentence with "I have no earthly idea".
