Again, the team is apathetic. They obviously care, but not a lot at this point.

I'm sure they'll win more at SunTrust Park. You know, because it'll be new and all that.

Anyone got our record since AS break last year?
No manager would have a winning record with this roster but few would do worse than Fredi. This team isn't ready for games.

34-76 since July 5th 2015. We were at 42-42 and 4 games out at that point.
"How'd we ever win 34?"
"It's a miracle!"
If we trade him that's what I'd want in return, similar to the Houston-Philly and SD-Boston trades. But we may need to hold on to Viz and let him rack up a solid year saving games this year to pull that type of return or similar. Maybe next off-season. Then again after how those trades have worked out so far, might hurt us getting that return. The Houston one might especially be a wake-up call to others considering paying so much for closers as it has been a bust for Houston and great for Philly.

Bethancourt hit his 2nd homerun today
Buchter (entering today)...
13.2 ip 0.66 era 20 k 1.10 whip
Maybe we should've given Buchter a shot

And not a bit of that is Fredi's fault. He does not deserve to be fired. Not after being handed this pile of crap. I am all for the rebuild but I feel Fredi deserves better than to be just dumped. I hope when he latches on he beats the Braves like a drum. I also hope rips the three Johns a new one.

Actually, not everyone that says Fredi should be fired and should've been in the past blames only him for the losing now or in the past. I am not sure anyone ever does truly but that it's more those trying their best to defend Fredi who argues as if that's the view when in reality we all have our differing opinions and understandings on Fredi, FO, and the players. Further, if you don't want to call what you said excuses for Fredi, I could just say if that is your best defense of him it's very weak and your opinions here are not "facts" but of course they are from a certain point of view.
