He is a fuckhead, plane and simple. His philosophy is tread water until the deadline, then add pieces. It will save money, build excitement and sell tickets. So, he entered this year with a flawed product, and after the deadline the team is not really better. They are not even watchable. It's disgusting the fact that they still sell tickets. The people in Seattle amaze me. It's almost as if they are handing out No Kings shirts at the door to draw all these sheeple in!

I wouldn't go watch this fucked up team if they paid for my ticket and parking. Shit, I wouldn't go if they did all that and gave me free food and beer. Well? Maybe I would then.

Yeah...this whole deal needs to be fleshed out. We need baseball men like Pinella and Gillick to oversee this operation...not woke carpetbaggers from California like Dipoto, Bavasi, or Chuck Armstrong. This is why we have metro broadcasters like Aaron, Ryan-Rowland, or Angie in the broadcast booth instead of competent baseball announcers like Niehaus, Rizz or Mike Curtin. Baseball towns like New York or St. Louis would never put up with shit like this.

Jerry has done two things right. Hiring Scott Hunter and not giving up anything of value in trades since Covid. Horrible Roster construction. Horrible at identifying new players in trades and signings. Absurdly stubborn hanging onto those bad players WAY too long. Horrible at PR.

Imagine what the Rays GM or a similarly talented GM could do with $165M vs their $108M payroll. They have 71 wins and we have 56 with over a 50% higher payroll. Pathetic and a massive indictment on Jerry. Sure the players have underperformed but they are Jerry's players.

I don't blame Hollander because I think his only job is to give injury updates. :lol:

I told you months ago that that plan would not work this season because nothing of value would be available and the added Taylor Ward and Dominguez. lol
