I'm disappointed, but who cares? We're not going to be any good next year either.

I think it's hilarious that an in depth interview with Hart where he praises Fredi to the heavens, says it will be an easy decision whether to keep him and then refuses to publicly name a date when he's going to extent him is interpreted by 90% of this board as "Fredi sucks and he won't be managing next year."

Y'all are like Fox News watchers. Sitting there in a circle jerk posture agreeing with each other that Fredi sucks. Meanwhile, the guys actually making the decisions have absolutely diametrically opposed thoughts to the groupthink.

Fredi doesn't suck. He's a decent manager. They don't make a hell of a lot of difference as long as they've got a few working brain cells and treat people decently enough. You got problems with his bullpen management? You got problems with everybody's, because everybody uses their bullpen about the same way. One inning at a time.

Go look at every other team team in the league's message board. Everybody thinks their guy is an idiot.

How dare you, sir. How. Dare. You.

Well? Fairly self-evident that they like him, isn't it? Just signed him to an extension? With an option?

And this happened two days after most posters read his boss' quotes as saying he's gone?

Whats the facepalm for? Because I don't get in line and agree he sucks?

I think he's a pretty good manager. I don't think he's ****ing John McGraw.

But I'm pretty sure you or I could have managed the '27 Yankees to the pennant.

I just don't think it matters a huge amount.

Agreed

Instead of winning 74 games next year with an elite manager we now win only 72 with Fredi. Not losing sleep over that.

I don't think he is a bad manager either. Not that it matters in baseball.

Disastrous move. Sorry for the negativity but yeah.
