He said it was expected and what he projected him to be. That is what people are disagreeing with.

No, Riley was not projected to be a .900 OPS guy. Exactly 10 players in the entire league had a .900+ OPS last year. And no, not all top 100 prospects project to an .850 OPS. There were 18 players who posted that last year. Your idea of a realistic projection for hitting prospects is insane.

Maybe he likes playing baseball and getting paid tons of money.

Outside of in-game decisions, what is a coach’s job if not setting the tone and culture of a team? If the defense of Snitker is that the team is always lifeless every October, that is one sucky defense.

Fire Snitker

Because THAT was cool

In reality, I don’t. I do think making the regular season so meaningless is stupid, but I’m really just mad and venting.

Houston had a bye. But it’s still stupid.

Maybe we can just tank September so we get to obliterate some crap team and build momentum.

Is this what MLB really wants? Don’t try to dominate, build yourself a meh team that can win 85-90 and sneak in.

He did not, he was waving him in.

Sure. And that still means nothing going forward, and is not a statement on his ability or value. He’s more likely to put up an 1.100 OPS in the playoffs next year than a .650 because that’s who he is. We have years and years and years of evidence, the playoffs aren’t different, they’re just...

This is a team-wide failure. No one is above blame, save maybe Riley. But there’s a difference between ‘He didn’t get it done, bad series, he deserves blame’ and ‘He can’t cut it when it’s time to perform, he’s a regular season guy and wilts under the pressure, he doesn’t have the cajones for...

LOL ok So now everyone else’s failure is Acuna’s fault too. Yeah, no like we hold him to a different standard or anything.

Dude is nowhere near good enough for that crap. I thought one of the benefits of Snitker was that he doesn’t let stuff like that fly? What is his actual value?
