Snopek Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 2 hours ago, Harry Chappas said: Because he seems to like to f*** over young players and those are much more important. He makes the team worse and is the epitome of a buffon. Yeah, the "Who cares? The team will suck anyway" comments are always a little odd to me. There's a lot more at stake than just the win-loss record for this year's team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he's embraced losing now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedros last 7 seasons, 2 partials seasons and already over 200 games under .500. Fire this loser. 15-36 61-101 65-97 74-88 26-34 59-103 58-104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Ok. I've finally read Pedro's comments about the interference call....I would like him fired on the basis of that nonsense alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he said what Hahn and Kenny wanted to hear then blew smoke up JR's rear end. I mean this guy was with the Royals for a decade and they passed on him twice for their managerial opening. That should have been a major red flag. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why he needs fired. They’ve lost so many games in the past season and so far this year that the manager legit doesn’t mind losing anymore. If that takes hold in the locker room (it has), it is completely toxic for any young player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know JR is a shitty owner, but making, perhaps, the worst GM and Manager hired in history in the middle of what was supposed to be a competitive window is wild.

Certainly Don was too busy hitting .230 and playing defense to be concentrating on managing a pitching staff during the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
