caulfield12 Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 8 hours ago, The Beast said: Lol, the division series. That’s great. I know it’s a Not Bob Nightengale tweet but after what I saw against Houston last year and not having good starting pitching during that series, how can I not be somewhat skeptical of this team? Like I said, if they can’t get quality starting pitching, it won’t matter what their offense and high priced bullpen does. Power rankings do not equal results. If they can’t get beyond the first round again they have to know something is missing. Yes, looked at that again and it’s pretty telling Hahn-speak has evolved from multiple championships to having a great shot at the division series. That’s more out of that “let’s target a second place team just to keep the fans’ appetites whetted but expectations not ever too high” PR bag of tricks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 How many free agents do we need to sign? How many spots did we realistically need to fill that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Going after Hahn is pointless since it’s patently obvious Reinsdorf and LaRussa really run this team and Hahn is essentially the preferred PR spokesperson in this awkward situation. Of course, other than rooting for ownership change before this current window closes… Edited March 28, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I was wondering at what point this thread would jump the shark, (if it hadn't already the moment it was created), and here we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I am completely on board with a TLR firing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoUEvenShift Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 This reminds me of those facebook groups who in the middle of the night change the group title from "We love cute puppies" to "We Support Putin Defending Himself From Ukraine!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
