Where are his socks?!

Seems silly to me. It’s still only April. They rolled off, what, half of their coaching staff? And then reverberations to the minor leagues because managers/coaches down there were part of the domino effect. Maybe I’m wrong, but unless the team needed a change in culture, it just seems like a desperate move(s).

Greene has cut down SO% and increase BB% without sacrificing power so far this season vs last. I think that’s what had been hoped for. Torkelson will always find himself on the short end of a lot of fan evaluations because he isn’t living up to a 1st overall pick. Even if he improves his consistency and/or progresses his overall game, I think he’ll remain one of the primary targets of angst from the fan base.

I’ll authorize it.

Per bbref, Aaron Harang’s top similarity score match is Randy Wolf. So when are we going to see a Wolf statue at Commercial Park?

D’OH!

The Hinch to Boston thing makes sense when you consider he was there just last weekend.

Hold on, I earned 7 points for this from @Biff Mayhem? How do I redeem the points? Are these like the points earned at arcades? Do I take them to a counter and get candy or some sillly putty or maybe a handful of mini Ditkas?

Use the bullpen for openers? They ain’t been so great lately.

<s> Oh, good. That should save the bullpen from further attrition. <s>

Also another good point.

Well, and the thing about Jones’ slow start at the plate this season. I forget which pod it was, but one of them this week mentioned his rustiness to start the season given his time at the WBC with Korea and how that might have set him back a bit and not being able to get going. That probably is a variable that seems to be reasonable.

I should really ease up on Jones’ defense given my own fielding foibles in softball lately.

Does Jahmai Jones have a fielding glove?

I remember going to a Mud Hens game and a group of maybe a dozen fans would wildly yell “SKEETER!” when he came up to bat. Unsurprisingly, that group seemed to have vacated after beer sales were done.

The bird requested a redo.

I kind've like that idea.

Has a manager ever been ejected from a post game press conference?

Lulling the Brewers into a false sense of security this early in the season well before they meet in the World Series isn’t the worst idea
