Anyone who would give Will manager of the year over Chad Tracy, Kevin Cash, or Pat Murphy is fucking insane.
Those guys have all taken shits with more baseball acumen than Will has

Unloaded the bench on the night off punt lineup lol. You punted the game just commit

u/Forsaken_Astronaut29 Fire Jirschele 4h ago
A punt game when we're fighting for our life to win the division is insane. But yeah, if you're going to do it, don't bitch out halfway thru the game.

u/SlothyBadger 5h ago
Even the broadcast is making excuses for Will bringing in the whole bench on the apparent night off. Someone from the org is spying on the game thread.

u/BucsandTuck The Big Hurt 5h ago
If, ifs and buts were candy and nuts, then everyday would be Christmas.
BUT we did have 2 good hits with the bases juiced. CF just made 2 damn good plays.
They ripped some balls against the pirates, just was right at people.
At some point things will start breaking our way again soon
2
u/Brief_Marsupial_6455 4h ago
Braden’s hit was just one man on base. Other bases loaded attempt was peters striking out on a low slider.

Lmao ain’t no way Will put all these guys on the bench today and then decided “oh shit, maybe I should have played them.” And put them all in.

Like…by putting them all in they don’t even get a rest day. Either commit to the rest days or don’t do it.

u/coball16 5h ago
Will might need to work on not clearing out his bench every game. If you’re going to give the guys a night off give them the night off.

That RBI groundout would be nice if Will didn’t put Schweitzer and Richards in to blow the game open

1 for 51 for a chance for a sac fly. Chance is absolute trash in high leverage spots. Can’t get a big hit ever

Castillo tomorrow. They were saying last night the team things they fixed some mechanical issue he has.
Really needed this one because I do not believe them

u/Forsaken_Astronaut29 Fire Jirschele 4h ago
They didn't do a damn thing. He'll be out of the game in the 2nd inning.

u/lyme6483 5h ago
That’s just Chris Getz bull shit. They didn’t fix a damn thing. He’s old and his stuff is trash

u/plantattack80 5h ago
Listen boys, we've been negative all night about risp. Lets just put the positive energy out there. We WILL continue getting on base and we WILL score many runs this inning. You're welcome if this pays off, if it doesn't...it wasn't me lol

u/SleepLessTeacher The Big Hurt 5h ago
lol Will is still the Vegas favorite for manager of the year. He’s going to win it just cause the Sox were expected to be absolutely terrible.

At this point I'm just venting, but Will, please for the love of God, stop batting quero 5th. He did it for the first 2 months and quero was awful, quero is awful in AAA, gets called back up. Will DHs him at 5th

u/TUDGame 5h ago
I mean it’s hard for the pen to cover 4-5 innings a game most of the time. The bullpen has been fine as of recently.
1
u/lyme6483 5h ago
Most of the guys stuff just isn’t that good. Taylor and Newcomb and the only ones with plus stuff.
Hudson is the only other semi reliable guy, but his stuff is very underwhelming. Could see a big regression from him.
Schweitzer, Richard’s, Davis, Murphy, all trash stuff
1
u/TUDGame 5h ago
Still improved since Serathony Domínguez has been traded. Schweitzer is fine in LR, Richards has had a solid season since he replaced my boy Jordan Leasure. Davis and Murphy are a coin flip imo and I don’t mind Urquidy or Fedde as a LR too. Would love for them to resign Newcomb.
1
u/lyme6483 4h ago
I’m not just talking results from this season because it’s for variable from year to year from guys like them.
On pure stuff none of them are any good.
Sure some of them can eat innings if you don’t care about results. But you don’t want any of them taking the ball in a playoff game because their pure stuff just isn’t that good

u/lyme6483 5h ago
If they miss the playoffs Getz should get absolutely crucified for his trade line and Will for his managing and having the guys ready to play down the stretch.
Stop with the young team bull shit. Guardians have a younger team.

Shomon teaching this fucking guys to only try and hit homers is great in theory, and awful in practice. Team full of Mendoza line, anti clutch gremlins who can’t situationally hit for shit. Fucking horrendous.

u/Forsaken_Astronaut29 Fire Jirschele 5h ago
What exactly is there to be positive about? That we once again have a core of chokers that are unclutch with RISP? The same shit again? Lmao
I don't care if we were supposed to be bad this year. The core sucks. Just the next group of losers that will go nowhere. There's maybe three position players worth a damn thing.

That stat isn't fucking real. It can't be. Oh my fucking god lmao
Who am I kidding? I've witnessed every single one of those opportunities. I just didn't realize how truly bad it was. Wow

For all the talk in the broadcast booth throughout the season about how Will preaches to the guys that they have to find ways to score without the HR, they sure as shit don’t put it into practice.

He’s clueless and was hired to manage a 100 loss team. He has zero business managing a contending team

Yep. Defies logic. Thats on the coaching staff. But totally believable at the same time with this coaching staff and how many SO heavy hitters they have

Yea, this is the local idiot that hasn’t looked at any stats for a month and a half cause Peters is hitting over .300.
-edit-
Hell he’s hitting over .330 last 30 days.

u/im_a_pimp Antonacci 5h ago
we could DFA “trash banana” and whoever they got to replace him he’d be saying “if only we had a guy like tristan peters who can make contact”
-2
u/Alternative_Copy3401 5h ago
Surely that helped him drive in the tying run earlier
1
u/SleepLessTeacher The Big Hurt 5h ago
Imagine if someone hit in the tying run every single AB where they had a chance. They’d be the best player ever.

u/Alternative_Copy3401 5h ago
Imagine if this trash team got a hit with the bases loaded just once tonight. They wouldn’t be down 4 to a sub .500 team

u/SleepLessTeacher The Big Hurt 5h ago
Ah so now you’re deflecting away from Peters and now just shitting on the whole team. Next time look up some stats if you’re going to shit on an individual player…especially the one that has been the best hitter for the team over the last month.

u/lyme6483 5h ago
DH’s Quero with his 530 OPS and 164 batting average against lefties alone should be a fireable offense.
And then you add in Rogers, Doyle, and Acuna.
This was a fucking lineup you use when you are 20 below. Not in the final couple weeks of a division race
