I mean that was the whole point of taking a pessimistic view of how long this would take. We KNEW that Jerry wasn't going to spend for while, and even when it does, it won't be in the A tier.

Hahn actually did have a fair amount of experience coming up through the organization and serving as a long time assistant GM, who even turned down interviews for other GM jobs.

Jerry when the time comes for the financial component.

Laugh reacts only. It's either that or cry.

This was slid into the presser, but probably worth its own thread.

Worth mentioning, this eliminates both Tony and Ozzie, thankfully.

Sure, now let's see them actually do it.

Gotta have some time to blame others still.

Because you could win 65 games, look like a genius, and work here forever.

And even had a press release made up with AJ Hinch's signature on it.

Maybe that jersey is teal, maybe it isn't...

Translation: Jerry will tell me this.

Just need the first two seconds of this video.

The problem in the bullpen was the guys in the bullpen for the most part. Brebbia has been a bust for some reason, true. Wilson has been hurt all year from reports. Kopech has refused coaching. Tanner Banks was outstanding. The rest of the pen has been exactly who they have always been. On the whole, a couple of guys up, a couple of guys down, and the rest exactly what you would have projected equals OK with me. If you put hot garbage into a bullpen, getting a dumpster fire of results is hard to hold against the pitching coach.

No more lawyer speak, huh.

If only we could figure out who was responsible for the flawed roster...

I am OK with Katz. When it comes to pitching, by and large the pitching staff has been as expected, or better in many cases. Getting what they got out of Fedde and Crochet is a HUGE plus. Thames? Who fucking knows.

Probably in their 50s by now.

He bent the knee to the right people?
