This thread will never backfire. He is the most unusual person/manager ever, and I will wait to see how things play out. But that first week was still awful lol

It wasn't just JSP...Philly papers had polls out asking if it was too early to fire your manager after like 6 games lololol

The reds like this

Yeah, I know...kind of ridiculous to be honest. I would have expected that after a couple months, but the first week or two?

I'm not trying to toot my own horn here, but I did tell people during that first week to push the brakes on hanging the guy. Rookie manager and a relatively young and inexperienced team, there would be a learning curve and adjustment period.

Did I think they'd play THIS well? lol no, but still. I'm glad to see he has completely turned the ship around. Very promising...

Quoting profar now, will you stoup to no level?

If they win the series against the Diamondbacks I will make a formal apology.

i think you're giving him way too much credit

unless he taught our starting pitchers how to pitch or something....they've all gone pretty deep(now that he's not taking them out) and been effective in games which has limit his bullpen use.

offensive lineups are still a clusterfuck and inconsistent as hell, we go from 8run games to 1-2 run games the next few.

Moved our catcher who is batting .182 with .227 slug % into the 6th slot today, batting ahead of Franco and Kingery.

Of course he gets the bases loaded up for him in the first inning and he fucks it up

thanks Gabe.

pitching is regressing and the hitting has gotten even worse

tried to spice it up by having our .192 hitter in Alterr bat cleanup LMAO

defensive alignment of odubel probably just cost us a triple in the 10th inning

thanks gabe.

Odubel has gotten on base for like 35+ games

Gabe Kapler with the 6D chess benching him first game of the season.
