You're very welcome ! Yes, it was very difficult during Mo's tenure . The classic Mo speak that will be etched in my brain forever is his incessant use of the word 'Obviously' He would be asked a question and start his reply with 'Obviously ....

I would listen and think No, Mo Everything is NOT 'obvious' .. You would think someone in the organition PR department would have alerted Mo to the overuse of 'obvious ' but then again maybe he wasn't a guy who could accept constructive criticixm .
Similar to those who latch on the expression 'With that said ..... and use that over and over. That drive me nuts too lol

Sometimes I wondered how Mo got to be so BAD at dealing with the public. I would think that while that's not the MOST important part of being a POBO, it has to be pretty important, especially in a town like ours. I know we're not a NY/LA/Chicago market, but we still follow baseball year round. Felt like he resented having higher expectations while also acting like he knew way more than any of us...which...usually I'd say that was probably true, but I don't think it was a true as Mo liked to think.ramfandan wrote: ↑10 Nov 2025 15:16 pmYou're very welcome !

Yeah, that's another one . Also , those who between thoughts insrtead of pausing (silence) before starting their next sentence say 'and' .82birds wrote: ↑10 Nov 2025 15:40 pmhow about?.....at the end of the day.ramfandan wrote: ↑10 Nov 2025 15:16 pmYou're very welcome !

We all know know POBO has unlimited funds . The owner controls that . At least initially , Bloom has convinced DeWitt to invest a lot more $$$ in the scouting , coaching, player development areas . He has hired a slew of guys and bought more tech stuff for his analytics/scouting people. Good start !Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑10 Nov 2025 16:34 pm He's certainly saying the right things. We're about to find out how much power he actually has.
OTOH, keeping Marmol and all the ML coaches...not a good start. I'm not sure which I hate more: 1) the idea that Bloom freely chose to keep all of those clowns or 2) the possibility that he wasn't allowed to make the kinds of very basic changes that any executive should be dying to make right now.ramfandan wrote: ↑10 Nov 2025 18:23 pmWe all know know POBO has unlimited funds .

maybe bill dewitt the 3rd is so immensly terrible at dealing with the public that it is contagious to his employees or they get used to speaking with dewitt the 3rd which just hurts their pr skills. and mo still looks a pr genous compared to dewitt 3Strummer Jones wrote: ↑10 Nov 2025 15:57 pmSometimes I wondered how Mo got to be so BAD at dealing with the public.
