OK, I’m starting to sense a pattern here I think can be summed up by this decision tree.

Harris should be fired.  He hasn't helped the offense since he has been here.  

People gush over him because he says the word analytics.  

 

No, using analytics is a good thing, used properly. Just like anything else, used incorrectly and it can be a disaster.

I just hope this 2026 season doesn't become another 2003 season. Watching Kevin Witt and Chris Truby each night was a mentally exhausting experience.

Another embarrassment.   No changes will be made unless there's an injury.  

 

They're tanking to justify trading Skubal to the fans.

They increased the payroll to ~$200 million and decided to tank? When Harris never makes any significant trades? No way, it's just very poor management, injuries and players not performing. A perfect storm of suckatude. Not going to go into a conspiracy theory level.....

12 games out prior to June 1. Nobody on the planet foresaw this

Nobody is getting fired nor should they. Are there things that I would like to be done differently heck yes ! Am I glad it's Harris making these decisions and not me double heck yes !!!

We over performed the last two years and it was reasonable to expect improvement from the same players plus Kevin McGonigle plus  Framer Valdez and two more veteran bullpen arms. Regression, injuries and older guys falling off the cliff all happened at the same time equaling FUBAR for 2026. 

The best way to learn, and the hardest, is trail and error and failure. Harris has now experienced this and he will learn from that and make adjustments. IF he doesn't THEN you get the pitch forks out and I will lead the charge.

Now is Scott Harris's moment of truth.
