Harold's Leg Lift

and here I thought this was drama queen central the other day. Good lord people.

Reinsdorf distancing himself from Hinch.

I hope McEwing stays on too. He's Tim's guy. The name I heard is Jose Oquendo. He's a great coach and a legend with latin players. Makes all the sense in the world.

Yeah that makes no sense to me. They're trying to win now who gives a shit about grooming a manager. The obsession with this Jirshele guy is really weird.

I agree with this. I thought Reinsdorf was setting up a quiet off season with the commentshe made a few months ago but this hire changes that. I'm not saying he's going to go bananas and have a $200M+ payroll but I now think he's going to spend the money neccessary to upgrade the roster where it needs upgrading.

Good. He's going to be a laughingstock there too. Win/win

I prefer the FO to stay out of the dugout.

They talked to Hinch.

He wanted to hire Hinch so he would have control over him and complete control of the dugout. That's the power play.

No chance

Hahn was part of the decision making so he rightfully fired him for doing what they all agreed was the best plan of action?

It's a shit show but that's ok. They'll get over it. What really cracks me up is all this poor Rick Hahn crap. There are people in that organization who are really mad at him for throwing Renteria under the bus. He and made a power grab and Reinsdorf shut him down. It is his god damn team. Now they're saying Hahn is going to leave. Why. Because he has a bruised ego. Please. There's the door, Rick.

Not the slam dunk I thought it would be but LaRussa said he values continuity so I hope there's a chance he stays. I think Capra will be replaced. Maybe McEwing is the 3B coach and LaRussa brings in a bench coach.

LaRussa will bring in his guy.

Don't get your hopes up.

No kidding. Rick thought he was going to get his yes man after throwing Renteria under the bus but the old man had something else in mind. The young buck got played.

I think Hahn will be able to name the pitching coach. I haven't heard any names but would like to see it go to Hasler.

That's not entirely true.

Always was.

?

No he's not.

Pro: LaRussa won't take Giolito out of an elimination game after 5.1 IP and 73 pitches Con: ........

If he can only hit singles why would anyone walk him?
