skinfan2k Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Randy Knorr is coaching at Fresno.  Bring him up.  I don't see what value Davey brings right now.  That's what i usually look at a coach.  I thought he would be the leadership being under the Cubs manager i forget his name but this has been total garbage so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Slim line between Johnson and Baker. Johnson also had a dud in 2013. Baker led back to back NL East winners and took both opponents to 5 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I’d put Matt Williams in the bottom tier category before Davey. Davey, while he clearly inspires zero confidence with fans and results have been sub-par, has had a rough hand dealt with both bullpen and injuries.  Matt Williams had a veteran player screaming at him in the clubhouse. If that happens to Davey I will amend my rankings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain James Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 We've had such a decent team on paper the last 7-8 years with barely anything to show for it. This is frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Davey is going to get time now because his 3B, SS, and 1B are all out. I don't know if it matters. There is nothing we can point to and say he's an excellent manager when it comes to X. He's not even average yet.  I'd let Lilliquist go. Been saying that for weeks now. That would send a message that everyone is being held responsible. If things don't improve from there, then Davey would be next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queso87 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I don't think there's much Martinez could do to make me hate him as much as Matt Williams. Which is also why he is such a bad coach. He's so mediocre, he's so bland, he's so...Jim Zorn. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 The best thing for this team would be to be 10 game back well ahead of the trade deadline so you can make an informed decision about the future of the team with plenty of time to mull it over. I'd rather not watch bad baseball for a decade and raise my kids watching losers play, so I'm a big fan of the blow-it-up strategy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I'm not quite to blow it up territory, i want to see what the roster does with an actual manager of men first. Â That said, Rizzo has yet to get that part correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a $200m roster, this team should not be this bad. It's time.  And--give me Giraridi, give me Showalter. Give me someone that commands a room. Give me Beltran as the bench coach. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him coach out his contract and find someone new when we are ready to compete again. 45 minutes ago, StillUnknown said: I'm not quite to blow it up territory, i want to see what the roster does with an actual manager of men first.  That said, Rizzo has yet to get that part correct  Rizzo tried to hire Bud Black. Later, he tried to bring Dusty back. There are only so many proven MLB managers your GM can try to hire... the manager situation is absolutely NOT on him. Edited May 2, 2019 by skinsfan_1215 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'm okay with giving young up and comers a chance but the last two times we've gone that route, its backfired. Meanwhile proven leaders of men like Baker and Johnson get results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry.Randolphe Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 A legit manager like Girardi or Showalter is what we've needed since we let Dusty go. If we had them in charge last season, we actually would have challenged the Braves for the division 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
