Got to do something. Dude was 2-25. Panic mode has set in.

I was never sold on Wallner. Poor man’s Larnach, who in turn is a poor man’s Kirilloff, who in turn is a poor man’s…

Shocking that their starting pitching is a problem.

Lopez
Ryan is a #3
Ober is a #4
Paddack is a #5
Varland should be in the pen

Needed a #2 SP to compete and they don't have one.

Why?
So Far:
Santana fail
Margot fail
Paddock as a 4 fail
Varland as a 5 fail
DeSciani trade fail

Those 5 are the GM/FO.

Time to start Woods Richardson/Festa/Raya as the 4/5 and move Varland to BP.


Hitting...really no idea. Should have signed JD instead of Santana first and foremost.

But Varland and Paddock? No.

You are right, I forgot to post this. Thanks for reminding me.

2023 Final Numbers

Pablo Lopez, 11-8, 3.66 ERA (pedestrian numbers)

Luis Arraez, .354 BA (batting champion), .393 OB%, .993 Fld%, led NL second basemen in double-plays turned (Silver Slugger Award, National League All Star, 8th in NL MVP voting)
Second player in the modern era to win a batting title in both leagues.

Is this past the statute of limitations to qualify as after last year's All Star Game?

Not really. Many feel pitchers should not get MVP award, and vote accordingly.

Yep. There have Cy Young / MVP winners.

I just go with López snapping our 18 game post season losing streak. Then he followed it up by dominating Houston in the second round. That trade is one of the few moves Falvine has no need to apologize for making.

Rocco isn't getting canned. and what you listed Phil, considering the constraints on the budget given to the GM/FO I would say all of it is on ownership and their BULLSHIT excuse to cut payroll.

Without that limitation I doubt Margot, Santana would've been signed and they would have rode into this season with at least Varland in the rotation. Paddack was a virtual lock to enter the rotation either way.

But they made no effort to add starting pitching, because of the budget
They signed aging has beens and traded for a never way because of the budget
They hoped and prayed for injuries to be minimized...and here we are 16 or so games in and half our bullpen, our starting ss, 3B and RF all on the shelf, the LF we were counting on to slug the shit out of it sent down. We are relying on Farmer at SS, Castro at 3B and in the line up nightly.

Most of this was the result of budget.

You could hire Theo Epstein to run this front office and we'd still be here because ownership has once again gone cheap.

Why fire the manager? or the front office? Nothing will change if we do.
