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.

Ishbia better hurry up and close the deal before JR raises the price.

Today, they look like a team that will win more than 50 games.

I hope it's not just gas.

Jerry didn't like him. That's how it works in most companies. I loved the job Himes did, but I get that if I owned the club, I would want my guys running things. As the saying goes, rank has its privileges.

Quite an improvement.

Sounds like a great fit.

Will Venable is the only interesting addition to this club. In about 2 years we will be glad to have him IMO.

Gee...I wonder if a new managing partner would help.

I hope so. I can't remember being less into opening day.

Probably the right way to go but this has absolutely no entertainment value. I find it hard to cheer for Jerry's wallet.

I agree with your points. If we are going to spend like a small market team...we need this slow rebuild while fixing the organization. It would be twice as fast with a different owner IMO.

I think baseball rules require a team to score at least 1 run to win a game. Maybe that has changed while I wasn't watching.

JR thinks a whole roster of cast-offs will be ultra-entaining for the fans to watch. Pathetic!

Yep... the only reason to tune in.

I know it's getting late but I always thought this deal would close by the end of ST. Just makes no sense for JR to hang on to his "managing partner" title while doing nothing to improve this club. He can give up operational control while having little or no tax consequences.

That would be Courtney Hawkins
