What a great trade that was.  Fletcher has been so bad he is being replaced by a 32 year old journeyman.  Getz is the worst GM of all time.

Getz has done enough dumb s%*# to warrant getting whacked already. You know Jerry won't do it though. 

I suggest everyone click on my avatar and take note.

I know they won’t but a fucking beat reporter needs to press Getz on this.  I want to hear him even try to make this make sense.

2024 Charlotte stats:

Colas, 25 years old, .246 BA

Deloach, 25 years old, .268 BA

Ortega, 32 years old, .241 BA

Last year for Fletcher at AAA:

25 years old, .291 BA

It’s not like Ortega is some defensive stud.  This legit makes zero sense. It’s a lost season and the former director of player development, now GM, is calling up a bunch of MLB journeyman in their 30s trying to hang on for one last chance in the show instead of young guys to get a team to 55 wins instead of 50.

Bailey Horn also designated

I expected Fletcher to get bounced, but really hoped I'd be wrong.

The Ortega moves makes no sense.  And I know Horn has been terrible, but how'd he go before Justin Anderson?  I truly have no fucking clue what Getz vision is here.  

So traded a guy not on the 40-man for a guy who needed to be added and dfa him?

Jesus and now Bailey Horn is DFA'd too for this fucking mess.

The thing is, I can no longer tell if this is Getz trying to rebuild, win, or try to just not be the worst team of all time.

But the thing is, he's failing at all three.

Optimistic. At this point I think they are literally trying to do one thing: not set the all time loss record. That is their only goal.

I wonder if Horn will clear waivers…he’s looked like s%*# this season,  but he’s mid 20s and looked decent at AA last season.  He’s never been this bad before so “flushing it” this early into the season…doesnt seem smart.

It just doesn't make any sense.  I cannot wait for this press conference, even though I know none of the hard questions will be asked. 

Man is out here running a professional MLB organization, like he is playing MLB the Show at 2 AM.

 

You made the move for a 26 year old OFer, gave up on a 21 year old pitcher. You are 3-22, this season is over. Play the kid you traded for all season, and see at the end of the year, if you have anything.

 

How can ANYONE be ok with the clownshow in charge?

The capper will be Getz giving Pedro the vote of confidence later.

 I would bet that he does not clear waivers. 

All Getz is doing at this point is rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, it doesn’t matter what he does, this team will be lucky to match the 40 wins by the 1962 Mets. 
Bottom line is Getz doesn’t have a clue and is just as bad as the field manager, both are in way over their heads.

Inexcusable mistakes made by Getz

Pham has played 21 games in CF since 2018....

And these dumbasses throw him right out there in his first game on the roster. You have to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

Like seriously, how is there not more concern about how bad Getz seems to be at this job?

Chris Getz solution to 3-22 is a revolving door on the 26th man. Nice. 

There's literally nothing he can do about it. There's no way for him to improve the roster.

I think the dial only goes to 11. We're at 11. Can't go any higher.

I for one, could have NEVER guessed that a guy with no record of success at a lesser position, and no skill set for his new position, would struggle with all facets of being a MLB GM.

Wait is he actually in CF tonight?  I haven’t seen the line up yet ?

But he did such a good job developing players!
