He’s the only name I know. He seemed like he was being groomed for the gig back when RR was let go, but I agree I don’t see them handing him the keys w/o spending time in the dugout with the big club.

I don’t know the guys coaching in the minors at all.

It would be McEwing no doubt, with the FO removing the interim tag in the off-season.

They do need fresh blood from the top down. But I would take a ‘company man’ or even a minor league coaching promotion over TLR at this point. Anyone not actively holding the team back.

I have zero interest in replacing one guy who hadn’t managed in 10 years with another. Ozzie’s style worked until it didn’t. Fans that still clamour for his return always seem to forget just how terrible he was his last few years here, negotiating to be manager of another franchise while still under contract aside.

Is it the root cause in the grand scheme of things.

Is 'fired' somehow a new phrase the kids are using for drunk off your ass? Otherwise, no, haven't seen any announcements of such wonderful news.

Nicely timed tweet obviously gleaned from speculation here.

TLR

The bullpen is still in shambles and the offense can’t put runs on the board. They also seem to find ways to lose. Sox might break the losing streak this week but I wouldn’t be surprised if they lose both series.

Back spasms maybe?

Who could have predicted?

When was the last time that was enforced?

Oh I agree, this looks different. Losing streaks happen, and even good teams have brutal stretches. But this is something else. I'm just thinking out loud trying to get to what it is/what it could be.

I wish I knew. But that HOF Baseball Person ego is nothing to be trifled with.

I wish I could.

I will be very surprised if it is less that 8 weeks.

It has to be something behind the scenes leading to this, right? They came out of the gates fine but just crashed & burned in Cleveland and have cratered since. Whatever duct tape & super glue that held them together through massive team injury last season doesn’t seem to be there this year either. Did TLR lose the team < a month in or is this just an extension of the miserable 2nd half of last year? Was the 2021 first half the mirage and everything after the real reality? IDK.

Get well soon Eloy. Start that mental prep to DH. And please work on that swing to elevate the ball w/o stupidly needing to leg out so many grounders.

Serious question.

Never have I been so thankful I missed a shit show after scrolling through this thread. What The Actual Fuck is wrong with this team?

I just watched the play. Fuck. Blew a hamstring running to 1st. Can't even blame oafishly playing the field either.
