They fired him because everyone hated him at the end. The players weren't at that point and weren't going to continue to give an "exceptional effort" for someone they were fed up with.
-
Nobody's saying pitchers don't give up home runs; it's just funny he's done it twice to Kershaw, of all people, and then Kershaw unleashed the potty mouth.

Plus a gold star on my book report and everything. -
Go nuts. I'm going to go research Denard Span's path to the majors so I don't get caught in such a humiliating pickle again.
-
This is, like, one of the worst examples of that. You're killing a good joke.
-
I don't follow a ton of baseball anymore outside of the Cubs (and especially not the minor league careers of players on other teams), so I asked a question; relax.

That looks horsefeathering terrible. -
OK?
-
Holy crap this is so mojo That I don't know the pre-majors career path of Ben Zobrist? Come on.
-
-
And just to keep picking on the guy, it's why Soler is frustrating me so much. The guy looks like such a physical specimen that I thought we'd be saying the same things about him. Now we're basically just praying he can hit enough to offset how much he sucks at everything else.
-
Well, that was a delightful close.
-
5th year college senior, senior sign, never projected to have power or a home defensively. Hardest worker in Rays system for years. Cool. He's like a WSR fantasy come to life.
-
What's the story with Zobrist? The guy wasn't ever ranked as a minor league player, and didn't break out until age 28. I just figured he had been a highly touted prospect given how successful he's been, but I didn't realize his major league time has been relatively so short.

Richard and Not-Castro warming up in the bullpen.

I don't know how he can suck most of the time but then put together stretches like the playoffs last year where he looks amazing It's often what the development of a really talented player looks like when he's not named Kris Bryant. Eh. He was REALLY bad last year. I'd say Addison is more what you'd expect/hope to see from a developing talented player.

Jesus, Soler.
-
It's the only ad they play. It's on every half inning. Oh I'm painfully aware. It will keep me from ever even considering an LG product mainly because I'll hang myself from madness by June I wish they kept up what they started doing last year; showing classic clips to get people to dig into the archives.
-
Snazzy defense, Addison.
-
It's like the Cubs are a team-wide prime Adam Dunn at times; they're just going to walk, strike out or pound the piss out of the ball and nothing else.
-
Sweet Castro shout-out.
-
Yeah, it's just time for someone different. GarPax certainly weren't the worst front office, but they've run their course and it's time for someone new/a new approach. Also don't miss Thibs at all; Hoiberg is horrible, but Thibs was done.

This is the better, happier Rizzo thread:
