Schriffen is better with him.

I was gonna say let's get him a lead but we all know that doesn't really matter.

Leasure is the perfect example of a young, talented ballplayer being mishandled by a manager and having it negatively effect his career.

Ozzie is right this dude has no idea how to get the last 6 to 9 outs of a game. Two seasons with no defined roles out of the pen, two seasons of disastrous results. Not saying Kopech would improve or anything but what was the plan tonight? Another 2 inning save? What a horrible waste of a wonderful performance out of Fedde.

Kopech didn't have it from pitch 1. How he was left in for that whole disaster is mind boggling.

I was actually okay with that. Was nice to hear.

Signing some free agents and mixing them with young prospects to get to 80 - 85 wins is more likely then rebuilding and coming up with a consistently winning team in 2028. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.

Right.....I said people would suggest it not that it should be done.

This fan base is so broken. Colson Montgomery is gonna come up, have an all star 1st half in 2025, and half this board will push to trade him for prospects since we're not competing until 2030.

It's delusional to think an 81 win team can't be constructed in one off season. It can. And thats all we should be asking at this point. It takes cash and proper scouting. This organization has fooled you into thinking it's impossible. This team would be 10 games better with a competent manager on top of that. Then go from there. Rick had to convince Jerry the fan base would go along with a rebuild and we did. Shame on us. We shouldn't be fooled into it again.

Kicking the can for the next competitive team to 2028 is unacceptable and this fan base should not tolerate it.

Do we think now that suddenly they will compliment a young core they get in return with 1st class free agents? They will not. It will be the same s%*#.

They shouldn't be looking to build a 90 plus win team for 2026/27, they should be looking to build an 80 win team for 2025. The bar is so fucking low right now, most fans would salivate at an 80 to 82 win season. I know I would. Sue me, I'd like to at least watch competitive Baseball in what.....May? They should hang on to Robert, Crochet and spend a few goddamn dollars this off season on bats with an abundance of arms coming up soon. But no. Cheap bullshit reigns and half this fanbase is already so abused that they're welcoming trading off generational talent for prospects that probably will not develop here. Whoopdi fuckin do. I'm not buying in this time.

Theyre gonna destroy this kid

There are some great folks in the front office who are both depressed and frustrated with the current state of the organization.

It's really astounding.

Bunting with 2 strikes, no outs and a ghost runner. Dumbest team in baseball.

Bruce Levine just on the score. Sure sounds like Pedro still ain't going anywhere. Also Bruce is terrible. I usually give the dude a chance but total apologist for Grifol and the organization.

Well said. I'm down. I'd actually drag my ass to the ballpark if this happens. Right now the only game I plan on seeing this season will be in Milwaukee next weekend. Would rather give my money to them than Jerry.

I've spouted this before but bring in Ozzie for 4 months. Hire him under the condition that after the season will be a full managerial search, and that how he works in the interim will act as an audition/job interview of its own. He'll do it, and it'll be refreshing and interesting. Or they fire grifol and we slog through the rest of the season with montoyo which will be miserable as well. Things are as bleak as they've been.

It has been discouraging to see Colson's performance thus far. I also was not impressed by what I saw out of him in the spring. Gotta give him a full year in aaa to really see because of his abbreviated 2023 but not great thus far. Quero hasn't really adjusted to aa entirely either but yes still young. Not as worried about him. Jacob Gonzalez has been nice to see though. Hopefully that keeps up.

Do you think they practice/preach swinging at the first pitch with runners in scoring position? There's really no other explanation for why it happens so fucking often. If they won't listen just put on the take sign for christ sake.

I remember this game and thought of it immediately. Was pretty blatant too if I recall.
