  1. That’s definitely the kind of something I’d like to avoid ?
  2. Why 60 innings though? He threw that many as a freshman and sophomore. I guess I don’t see why they couldn’t stretch him out to 80 or 90.
  3. Honestly, I’d probably sac bunt here Lol at 2 outs
  4. Man I’m not even sure what we can do here. Letting Hamilton hit in this situation kind of sucks, but the other bench guy we have left who can play a position is Lamb right?
  5. No one loves this version of Eaton. And I don’t think he goes anywhere, but if they add another OF he’ll potentially be on the bench for the stretch run.
  6. Bad 2021 Cease is night & day different than his 2020 counterpart. Huge development from him this year even if he’s not a finished product.
  7. Why do you think that? It’s still May and few teams would be willing to sell at this point. Even if they have faith in Robert & Eloy coming back, I can’t see how you can expect Eaton to be the answer in RF. They need an upgrade one way or the other IMO unless they really think they can roll with Eloy & Vaughn in the corners.
  8. Portillo’s claims they are looking for one, no way Hahn is going to risk a playoff with Hamilton, Leury, & the ghost of Adam Eaton getting so much playing time.
  9. Not digging the lack of hustle there by Yermin
  10. Exactly...I have no idea what he’ll ultimately be, but he showed enough in April to deserve the benefit of the doubt for now.
  11. He’s a rookie that is adjusting to the league and has kept our offense alive for the first chunk of the season. Your hatred for him is very bizarre.
  12. Not blaming Tony for this, but damn is that bottom three ugly tonight.
  13. Ricky was a shitty in-game manager, but he eventually listened to the front office and started leveraging shifts while eliminating bunting. Tony has already done those advancements and is too stubborn to change his ways. Ricky was also from most accounts a great clubhouse guy. All that being said, I was ecstatic when Ricky got fired because I thought almost anyone would be better with the in-game stuff. Unfortunately, that turned out to be untrue and Jerry forced a far greater evil on us. I never imagined in a million years that Tony would have been this bad of a tactician but alas he’s a complete travesty.
  14. I didn’t call you dumb, I said your argument was dumb. I fully disagree with the notion we can only evaluate a manager based on results. We don’t have access to every piece of info they do, but we see enough on a day to day basis to judge them on their decision-making process and not just the outcomes. As for the clubhouse stuff, that’s admittedly much more challenging to evaluate as a fan. However, when things aren’t going well in the clubhouse there oftentimes can be tells. As I said previously, there have been multiple reports of clubhouse tension centered around Tony. We also saw his team publicly acknowledge they tune him out and at least one player was liking negative comments about him on Twitter. The odds of Tony magically bringing all this chemistry to the clubhouse despite all that is incredibly low. Ultimately this is a highly talented roster and we will win a ton of games regardless of who the manager is. IMO, we are winning in spite of Tony and the evidence of that is clear of day if you actually watch the games and follow the team closely.
