Yeah, why try and keep the game close for our hitters. Where's the challenge? Let's give the other guys another run to make it interesting. What a crap team.

Usually I have quite a bit to say about any baseball game.
Today was simply a pretty good team beating a pretty bad team.
I expect the same thing tomorrow.

I listened to the game on XM-Sirius driving back home to Western North Carolina from Orlando, and caught the Reds broadcast. Some of their obersvations: Their starting pitcher had the 4 previous games of pitching well, and were excited he would do it again--he did. They were overjoyed with the dude that had the pinch hit HR, and were yelling he did it again. They were also bragging about Acuna, but also said Dansby was swinging for the fence on every at-bat and his swing was too long --- good observation.

This team needs to learn to execute in given situations, but that ain't gonna happen. If you can't do that by now, you ain't gonna learn how to do it in the majors.

This team needs to hear some different voices.

This team needs to hear some different voices. Good point. Things seem stagnant, for sure.

This team needs to hear some different voices. From the top to the bottom, the main message needs to be, “fix this, or heads will roll.” There’s too much of a comfort level in this organization. The team president needs to tell AA that if he doesn’t go out and get players to improve this team, he’s out the door. AA needs to tell Snit to get the team motivated or to pack his bags. Snit needs to tell his seemingly apathetic team to start doing the little things to win or they can ride the pine. Not going to happen because everyone but us is content with the accomplishments of the last few years. They see this season as just an anomaly and not the reverse trend that it is. Can’t keep a sinking boat afloat by ignoring the holes. You have to patch them and eventually completely fix them to make the vessel seaworthy. But we obviously don’t have the men to do it.

Can’t keep a sinking boat afloat by ignoring the holes. You have to patch them and eventually completely fix them to make the vessel seaworthy. But we obviously don’t have the men to do it. I think the issue is pretty simple: Complacency AA looked at our pen and said okay we're losing Meloncan, but we will have Smith for the whole year and just figured everyone else had shown they were solid enough not to worry about anything. There was also a level of it by just assuming Pache would develop enough to be a starter, Travis would be as good as he was in 2020 so we could just throw Jackson in there as a defensive backup, and we re-signed Ozuna. He saw we were 1 game away in 2020 and didn't look to bring any pieces in that would improve the team. We were there... so just hold steady. Worst thing ever.. even if you win the WS you should always be looking to improve. Then with Snit... he has always just been the team dad. A good guy everyone likes and is not noticeably terrible when all your pieces are clicking. When however you actually need a manager to motivate complacent players or a guy who can know how to really grasp what is and is not working with the bullpen or lineup... he's just not that guy... never really was. It was just hidden inside of a rebuild and a couple of outlier years where everything just clicked.

So, who would be a suitable replacement? I have heard Chipper (no manager experience & never has shown an interest in it), Washington (still part of the existing program and culture) and one poster mentioned AJ Pierzinski (that is the name I agree with more)
Should the dugout be shook up where you bring in someone outside the organization? And anyone with names to suggest.
Do you want another retread who might have not been successful with other teams but think it could work here?
Someone's coach? Or, a career loser type like a Jim Riggleman who has been recycled in different places for whatever reasons.
Personally, I do not have any names but the Pierzinski thing interests me cause I think we need a take no crap kick ass personality
