This team has more limitations than our record shows and we are still playing well and competing with the tops team in the league every time we face them. We have overachieved by a lot, nobody on this board or who is a fan of this team thought in a million years we would be 5 games above .500 and in 1st place on August 19th. Venable has questionable decisions just like every manager even ones with All star rosters.

To answer one question and to keep it simple if there are three options that statistically

Option 1 is correct 45% of the time

Option 2 is correct 40% of the time

Option 3 is correct 15% of the time

It's easy to be correct 45% of the time. Just keep doing option 1. The best managers are those who have a success rate over 45%. They have decide when option 2 or option 3 is better.

But it is tempting to want to replace umpire and in game managerial decisions to a computer.

Could this be why eSports is growing so fast?

Our last 4 managers are Robin Ventura, Rickey Renteria, Tony La Russa, and Pedro fucking Grifol.

Will Venable in year 2 has this team in late August in position to win the AL Central.

Some of his decisions have been bad!

Let's SHUT THE f*** UP about him needing to be replaced.

I don't think he needs to be replaced but there is still a learning curve that will frustrate us all.
