GDT 5/13/26: Braves vs Cubs - What Does Farmer Have To Do?

Alot of us have crow to eat bc WW has surpassed all expectations by a country mile. I hated the hire when it happened but now I'm glad that was the choice. The guys all seem to love him and the results speak for themselves. Good for Walt.

I thought Counsell was supposed to be some managerial genius.

I looked at their roster and they only have 2 lefties in the pen.. and one threw 1.2 innings the night before so I assume he was saving Milnar for Drake and Olson.. Problem is, you never got that chance because managers don't understand leverage to save their lives
 
WW is certainly not messing around this year. Another thing to note is using the BP in a tie game like we had the lead. That is generally not classic managing 101 either. That might get us in trouble eventually if say, that game was tied and went to extras, but I like that WW is striking while the iron's hot.

And Baldwin laughs at those who try to throw lefties at him.

There is literally no other new team manager out there I’d rather have. I won’t agree with all of his decisions but I won’t agree with anyone else’s decisions all the time either. His fire and demeanor are awesome.
