Quin

He's not exactly lighting Charlotte on fire, but yeah, fuck it. He's hitting for more power than he ever has before and like you said, an actual outfielder. Also, he's two years older, not younger, than Vaughn. Meanwhile, Sheets needs to go down to Charlotte to find his swing again.

Look man, if @Balta1701 is blaming someone more than Rick Hahn, that means he's feeling real strongly about it. Also, managing a lineup, bullpen, rotation, and strategy is exactly how you help players live up to their potential. They're not robots out there - they need to be put in positions to succeed.

I do worry about Jay Cuda's health

And Cy Young runner up Wheeler.

I don't see any difference between losing in the ALDS and the World Series. In fact, losing in the World Series is worse than losing in the ALDS because it gives you even more false hope.

If he were healthier, you really couldn't ask for a better 4th outfielder than Adam Engel, 19th-round pick.

He's 5th in OBP in the Carolina league. Of the 4 ahead of him, 3 were drafted in 2020. Lenyn Sosa has the 5th highest OPS in the Southern League, where Regions Field eats hitters alive. Of the 4 ahead of him, 3 (including the Barons' Tyler Nelsony) are 26-years-old or older or have moved on to AAA (Jerar Encarnacion, a 24-years-old corner OF/1B). He also has the 6th highest .OBP and second highest .AVG (behind Encarnacion). This is all while keeping his strikeouts low (K% is 14.2%) a decent walk rate (6.4%), and clubbing 10 home runs and driving in 37 runs from the middle infield. Half the reason Yolbert Sanchez needs to be called up is because Lenyn Sosa is kicking AA's ass all while being two and a half years younger than league average.

Better manager than TLR:

But what if I want both

What...even are these swings?

Cueto's expression after every single inning. I feel that.

Oh. My. God.

TLR is a brilliant strategist. A true leader of men.

Man, Grandal is in rough shape, but that should have been 3-0.

No, he's just an average Road to the Show create a player.

Jordan loves North Carolina, but he wanted to own the Bulls first.

Absolute shot in the dark: Once Reinsdorf passes, Michael Jordan pulls a Loria/John Henry and attempts to purchase the Sox and Bulls.

Firing TLR is an admission of failure and also repeating the exact same "mistake" he was trying to undo in the first place. Tony's feelings might never recover.

It's fucking mind boggling.

At this point, I'm convinced TLR is trying to piss people off because he knows he has immunity.

Banner power takes time.

Yes

While it's definitely an area of concern, Tim did have a 2.3% walk rate in A+ ball. Granted, that's offset by him having elite bat to ball skills / generating a higher .BABIP that he's sustained throughout his career.

God someone get me a real manager.
