I have to imagine some scouts or other internal employees were telling Hahn he shouldn't trade Tatis. The talent was immediately obvious.

Nah, that dude is a special talent. He shot up the Padres system and hit the majors at age 20, after only 3 years in the minors. I don't even think the Sox could've gotten in his way.

Meidroth definitely safe

700 runners left on base so far

Cannon didn't listen yesterday - you need to give up ZERO runs.

They are hitting Verlander pretty hard

Imagine getting outplayed by this guy

See pitching? All you have to do to win is be almost perfect every game. Easy.

Taylor has missed in the zone with that cutter but they still can’t do anything with it

Well, at least Taylor also didn’t get hurt I guess. Though he’d deserve it.

Yes

Oh my god Taylor missed the plate

There’s one!

Yeah I was thinking that too. With Robert out you might as well play Slater.

Don’t see a ball hit the second base bag like that too often. And that’s why a guy like Noda shouldn’t be in right field.

Adames not having a good day at short

I wouldn’t say I have faith in Reinsdorf, but you’re not too far off. I have hope that enough can be done in spite of his vampiric presence to put this franchise in a position to be successful once he finally dies or sells the team.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen Civale miss this badly. I remember him being a paint artist against us.

I commented on this right above your post. The word "only" is gone.

Ok, cool. I struck through the word "only" in the post.

No they are not. No one says that Getz had no involvement. That's impossible - he ran minor league development and was assistant GM. What people are saying is that since we heard he was the one to go over Hahn's head to Jerry and kick this whole process off, that its possible he was also held back by this shitty org and got frustrated enough by it to take action. We're also hoping he can show a glimmer of knowing what the hell he's doing so this thing can turn around. That is by no means absolving him of any blame. The majority of the blame should lie with Hahn, Kenny and JR, though, as they were the ones in charge.

I have seen Hahn dodge a LOT of responsibility around here. He's got nicknames like "Teflon Hahn" for a reason. I also know you've said things about how Hahn gets the majority of the blame around here, too, as though you think he shouldn't. I'm also not making anything up, so you can quit that inflammatory nonsense now. This is how people with different opinions than you view what you post. Go ahead and ask them. There's a reason why you are the only person here who keeps getting into it like this with people.

I don't think anyone here would rather have Getz as GM than literally anyone else qualified. He should have been purged. But he wasn't, so the hope people have is that he knows or can figure out what he's doing.
