As evidenced now, when they basically have one good starter and quite literally nothing in the upper minors ready to help. it's funny because this thread was ratio'd from the jump.

Hey that’s a reasonable complaint but that certainly didn’t absolve Hahn of all of the blame on this site. It gave him a little breathing room while TLR was parading the dugout, that’s all
May 11, 20232 yr I really don't remember people being optimistic and excited until the COVID season tbh

As much as I tussled with him it's sad to see Ray mostly gone as well. Same with Parkman. I'm mostly just s%*# posting. There's really nothing to talk about other than how much they suck. There isn't really one interesting playing on the roster. If there are some in the minors, they will inevitably fail to develop under this coaching and development staff.

Well also a lot of the regular posters and longtime members that are still active are old as hell now. I was 25 when I joined this board, now 41, and I think I'm probably in the younger quartile of members on here. All parts of this board used to be active well after midnight, now everyone's in bed by 9 pm

Defending him sure but the dude was not gonna be the next Theo until he actually won something. People were excited that it seemed we were gonna turn the corner for sure though I think you’ve confused it with ChicagoFanatics, who were always skeptics and most were always hilarious when doing so.

No I have been an admin here for a long time, im sure that this site still was very suspicious of him pulling off the rebuild

May 12, 20232 yr The threads after Hahn won executive of the year were incredible. Hahn extended than fired Ricky after 63 games, signed Parrot and Mazara, bid against himself for four years on the Keuchel and Grandal deals, and was down to two starting pitchers to pitch in Oakland after a grueling 60 game season.

The irony there is that both Dunning and Cease have actually done pretty well since that point in time, but the front office, fans and Renteria had no confidence in either...and then Renteria was 6 months too early having confidence in Carlos Rodon in a key relief role.

Hey, they never gave us an opportunity to develop a healthy prospects skepticism before. Gave us a bunch if new toys all at once we hadn’t seen the likes of since Big Frank, and we assumed. We’re catching up. Colas had us mildly interested. If the Sox had any new ones to show us we should be ready to ? on them when the time comes ?
May 12, 20232 yr 14 hours ago, FloydBannister1983 said: Exactly. Yes sir. All of the Hahn true believers took their ball and went home.
