My expectations were meh but the way they are playing is fucking pathetic. We have too many players. Nobody can get in a rhythm. Players playing out of position. Bullpen being mismanaged. Starters fucking blow besides Nola. We have been losing for a long time now and this looks even more pathetic than last year.

I hope this clown gets booed tomorrow and is gone by the all star game. Replace him with Rusty holy shit. I think I’d rather have Ryan Sandberg LOL

Yea he has done nothing to impress, that stunt he pulled last week yanking vinny with nobody even warming up was a joke. Shoulda been fired on the field right then and there.

Ill give him more time, he has definitely managed these games like a little league travel coach i was expecting a competitive season not be the laughing stock of the league for other reasons then being shitty....

Imagine missing Ryne Sandberg and Pete Mackanin

yikes

One positive is that Rhys Hoskins looks completely legit, but that's the only positive.

Somebody on the broadcast today said today he would be surprised if Crawford/Kingery/Hoskins don't turn out to be Rollins/Utley/Howard

jesus......

I mean they have a chance, but maybe the manager should let them play together first on consistent basis if that's ever gonna happen.

Also, it's about to time for Franco to go. He was one of our most promising players but has declined every season ever since he came to the big leagues, man wtf happened.

Franco is our modern day Dom Brown it looks like 😢

He was going to be a superstar, buuut nope.

sum Machado

Herrera
Machado
Hoskins
Santana
Alterr/Williams
Kingery
Crawford
Catcher
P

that looks somewhat like a major league lineup

Scott Kingery in RF when we have 4 OF's

interesting. I'll take it, as long as we get to see him play.

Doug Pederson has a better arm than our whole bullpen

Pivetta looks great today

jk Maikel Franco is the GOAT

“I guess the computers are making it, I don’t know,” Williams said, referencing the team’s reliance on analytics when charting a lineup. “I don’t get any of it but what can I do? I’m not going to complain about it because I have zero power. I’m just letting it ride.”

“Coming in and facing a guy throwing 100 right away? That’s kind of set up for failure,” Williams said. “I’m just letting them do what they do. This is their job to do this. It’s not mine. I don’t have any say. I’m not a veteran.”

- Nick Williams


So far: Aaron Nola said that he was surprised he was pulled, but didn't make a big deal of it. Herrera came out public and said he should be playing. Some guy anonymously told the manager to stay the hell out of the way. Now this coming from Nick Williams.

He hasn't shown anything that says he should be playing every day, but clearly they're not happy with what's going on.

Some of this is on Klentak. We have 4 OF's for 3 OF slots, and 5 IF's for 4 IF slots.

Managed to move only Galvis to make space for Crawford who is stinking it up and the rest is a clusterfuck.
