The front end costs money.

Looks like a powerhouse if you squint.

I vote for quality over quantity. Please give me a player with OBP, defense, and speed any day.

Thank God for radio and newspapers.

I actually cancelled MLV.com after the season, but weakened one hour before the opening day game. Yeah, I know...weak. They have been mildly entertaining despite Jerry. Getz has focused on building the foundation of the coaching staff and pitching/hitting development, manager, etc. Adding the new players has put life into the otherwise dead lineup. A new ownership with an open wallet could fix this mess fairly rapidly, IMO.

I came to the realization recently that there are about a dozen players on the team who look good. That's a pretty good place to build from.

I just watched Moneyball for the fourth time. Perhaps Getz could find some inspiration by quickly viewing.🙂

Jerry and Tony tanked this organization. IMO, the GMs did the best they could with this ownership.

Jerry would give this a hard NO.

I understood what you were doing. My remark wasn't aimed at you...just my two cents.

I don't believe the Ishbias bought 35% of a club so that JR could 100% control their investment. My guess is Ishbias will be taking over sooner rather than later.

Yep...shortstops, center fielders, and left-handed stud pitchers.

The back story of the black Sox scandal was that Eddie Cicotte was cheated out of a $10,000 bonus by then-owner Charles Comiskey.

100% agree!

It is hard to claim that JR is operating "in the best interest of baseball." He is doing more damage to the game than Pete Rose did.

Yep...Jerry brings in TLR, and the rest is history. Can't wait for a new owner!

In both cases...the owners were responsible.

Jerry has no pride. What a terrible way to end his "managing partner" era.

I agree...when you are losing, try something new. When you are winning...leave well enough alone.

Ishbia isn't nuts...this has already been worked out IMO. I seriously doubt Ishbia is going to allow JR to handle his investment for the next 10 years.

Not funny!

I think Venable is changing the culture.

Benintendi is on pace to break Hack Wilson's RBI single-season record. It would be better if he did it for us.

Reminiscent of the 4 games you are referring to.

That clubhouse celebration after the game tells me you are correct.
