They should to turn him into an outfielder. This organization has no shortage of players who's weakness is catching a baseball.

Hate it when the defense knocks our starters out.

That inning was strange. It went smooth.

Yermin moves quite well for his size.

Let's all chip in and buy them out,

How does one now define cooling off for a guy like Yermin.

Same here. For health reasons I'm in bed 9 pm and I live in the West Coast viewing area. I miss those days when Mark B was on the mound and a game would end around 2 hours. I'm sure they could come up with all sorts of crazy ideas to speed up the game but it's a much different generation of baseball.

The game day threads were pretty bad when scrolling to get past members attacking each other. I don't remember it being that bad.

That means plenty of stupid mistakes young players make. We've seen Robert do an Eloy impersonation.

How about fans losing their allegiance.

It's not the first time.

Agree. It's not the end of the world. Maybe they feared backlash of hiring Hinch,

Doesn't have to be.

No it sucks because it brings politics into a non political forum.

Baseball Stupidity 101 - recommend former players with no managerial experience.

I never understood the need to draft a 1st basemen. This organization seems to only produce guys that have defensive weaknesses so let's make them a 1B/DH . The world doesn't end if they keep Eloy in RF as long as there is a defense replacement in later innings.

I grew up as a Cub fan towards the end of the 60's. I could watch the last inning of the game after school. My dad was a Yankees fan and we started watching Sox baseball at night. That's when my allegiance changed. I still love those red pinstripe unis.

Discuss. I think he survives on the success of more than a decade ago. I'm not sure he is effective anymore. Sometimes a change to make a change may be necessary. If it were like the NFL or NBA he would not have lasted this long.

If they fired Ricky and a new manager has the option of choosing his staff I think Coop stays,

I guess the good part is there's a lot of youth on this team that got exposed to post season baseball. This will be a plus in the future.

Fans don't seem to have patience when it comes to MLB. It's not like the NFL or NBA where a drafted player can make an immediate impact.

It seems like the hard throwing pitcher has a shorter career. Kids in the minors get shocked when they face major league hitters who can hit your 98 heater. We may never see a 300 game winner again.

Not with this organization,

Hitters do and it's usually out of the park. I don't think he's figured it yet that guys in the majors can turn on a 98mph fastball.

Never trade with Oakland either.
