He makes the team worse and is the epitome of a buffon. Expand 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
