Not sure I want that lol

Sitting in 95 watching that burning bag of horse**** would put the whole "worst day at the ballpark is still better than an average day" thing to the test

If they do fire Al (I know, they probably wont), they need to figure out a way to do it while keeping some of the people they brought in during the offseason from other organizations (notably the Dodgers). Perhaps even look to the Dodgers for his replacement to bring continuity. But I don't trust that will happen, so why bother speculating lol

Garko hasn't been with the team for more than 6 months.

They've had plenty of embarrassing results this year, but getting your ass kicked and needing to use three position players takes the cake. Whatever it's about, it's probably about time

Going all Fuhrerbunker, looks like

And Tucker! 3 GD position players

There's one member of the local media speaking out

They're worried about access, like all media. Although there was a bit of a subtle tone change speaking to the lack of offense in AJ's presser after the Toronto series.

Can we skip ahead to the part where Dan and Jim go against corporate?

So, do they let Miggy pitch the 8th?

Who here wants to keep Al?

I've been about as patient as anyone here has been, but yeah, this team is going nowhere fast.

I don't know if they had always been planning on having him on or what, but it strikes me as the kind of thing that gets scheduled to distract from the product on the field. Great guy, knows his stuff.... but it says a lot about the broadcast.

Dan and Jim talking through the options to shake things up... Again, it takes a commitment to DFA someone already on the roster. Not gonna happen.

I put on Dan and Jim.... not worth having them on in the background to watch lol

You can't say GD on the air....

Nothing against the guy because he truly is a genius and knows his shit, but when Tom House is the highlight of your broadcast, the product just sucks.

One difference between this season and last season is there were more "shock and awe" options in terms of roster management. Bringing up Jake Rogers and Eric Haase was an easy choice when the alternatives were Wilson Ramos and Grayson Greiner. Or bringing up Hill or Cameron when the alternative is JaCoby Jones. When you look at this roster, there aren't many options besides shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic with the guys on the 40 man (particularly the outifelders) or DFA'ing a veteran in order to clear space. And I don't see Robbie being DFA'd to give ABs to someone in AAA, for better or worse.

I would add, this is worth a read on the Seth Rich situation: https://www.npr.org/2022/06/15/1104511732/fox-news-seth-rich-murder The world would be better off without Fox News and it's compadres

Fox News, after terrorizing Seth Rich's family for years with lies about his son, is literally involved in multi-billion dollar libel lawsuits with Dominion and Smartmatic. And that's supposed to the "mainstream" conservative option. So yeah, I can't blame anyone for being a little skeptical of the tabloid/Murdoch/daily caller/Washington examiner sources

Just an ordinary tour on an ordinary day in Washington, apparently

Robbie being on the team really complicates the picture on getting Baddoo back, one would think. Especially if/when Greene comes up. I don't see them DFA'ing Grossman, but IDK. Weirder things have happened.

The last couple of nights have been really bad because, instead of being uncompetitive while doing completely nothing offensively, they are instead losing after having gotten men on base. As many times as they have been held to 2 or 3 hits, they have had games where they leave 18, 19, 20+ men on base. Countless times. And have often had little to show for it. They just can't hit for any power or in any sort of situational form, and at this point it's hard to see that changing.

1 run, 19 LOB. Its incredible...
