Quit thinking about it young man. Don’t be anxious.

Succeed or go down in a blaze of glory.

Grip It & Rip It Mr. Walker!

Hard to do when you have a decent day and sit the next. Oli Marmol is a momentum killer. Complete dumb[ash].

I agree. I am very disappointed in his contract renewal, I was hoping for a clean sweep.

Another sign this organization isn't concerned about winning. DeWitt has the resources to reload this roster immediately. But he chooses to go cheap because it would cost him some $. He figures a half empty stadium and cheap roster is more profitable than a full stadium and more expensive roster.

Why does Billy Boy think this? Because a large number of box seats and club boxes are corporate owned. Those will sell regardless. There's the cash he focuses on. The average fan in section 300? DeWitt doesn't give a [shirt] about them.

This has is just one of (many) stupid decisions Oli makes, guys just not a quality major league manager.

His forte is minor league player development, he belong at Springfield or Memphis.

How's his replacement doing?

How's his replacement playing?

Which has earned the right to stay in MLB?

Did you consider that after a good game, they took him to the back fields to re-enforce the correct things he accomplished. He might get 2 or 3 at bats in the game, but can get the equivalent of 15 at bats against live pitching on the back fields.

It's just possible that the professionals know more than public.

What in Walker's "development " over the past 3 seasons proves these professionals know what they are doing?
And how do you explain oli doing the same during the season? No backfield work there.

That's Old Red... :roll:

Velasquez has the 3rd most ABs right behind Just Worthless. Guess who also can play defense, and hit? :lol:

Clueless. Maybe you should be drinking so you have an excuse

Last time I checked there were 3 outfield spots. Walker and Velasquez could both play at the same time. Was that too difficult for you to figure out?

I agree with hat one. It seems they played Blaze Jordan every time I looked.
