There is no future here over the next 3-4 years, will be a bottom 5 team in baseball once again as they have been during Hahn's entire tenure, but with zero carrots left to sell. Even Jerry knows you can't credibly sell another rebuild with this ass clown being a part of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely their org overhaul went beyond the manager. My point was the thought process of the hire. I agree Bochy can't work miracles, but he would be able to evaluate players, have more gravitas in terms of roster decisions, take a good inventory in terms of who has any value and who doesn't. The team would be playing harder and I believe being held accountable would result in smarter baseball. At minimum, it wouldn't be depressing like most of this season beyond their lone good 2 week stretch against terrible teams + the beat up health wise Yankees.

Actually feels like Getz and Gordo in the broadcast booth could easily destroy what's left of the remaining fanbase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your general points, but look at tonight's roster. Whoever you think is the greatest manager that's ever lived isn't winning with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever you think is the greatest manager that's ever lived isn't winning with this. The one notable change for tonight would have been Scholtens would be the starter tonight, with another reliever up in Seattle. Didn't agree with a lot of the FA/trades moves with Tony's involvement. Think Bochy would have had good suggestions last offseason, definitely this trade deadline, and they perhaps make smarter short term signings like RF Conforto ($36M/2years) and Zach Eflin ($40M / 3 Years) and or Kyle Gibson ($10M/1 year) plus Brandon Drury ($17M / 2 years) instead of Benintendi ($75M / 5 years) plus Clevinger ($12M / 1 Year).
