BigEd76 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Phillies fired their hitting coach Steve Henderson after 4 years of crappy offense. Good riddance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Matt Wieters had a fantastic year all around, including a super hot stretch towards the end. He's going to get a mega contract somewhere else, bc we can only keep (at absolute most) two of Wieters, Britton, and Machado. And I'd much rather have Britton and Machado.

CS85 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'd love our resident White Sox fans give their take on the Renteria hire. I liked him when he was with the Cubs, but this all feels, to me, like the wrong hire at the wrong time for a franchise headed in the wrong direction.

The_Admiral Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Not a Sox fan (SPOILER ALERT), but this hire doesn't amount to a hill of beans if Renteria can't hire his own guys and has to retain Reinsdorf/Williams spies like Don Cooper. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is exactly what's going to happen. Renteria "knows the system" and I'm guessing he wouldn't be sticking around if they told him they were going to use him as their Dale Sveum, where he gets a cup of managerial coffee while they burn down the house for a few years. It smacks to me as White Sox kicking of the can. Franchise is definitely in a quandary, and it's a shame because I want them to succeed, even as a Cubs fan.

Not to mention I honestly believe that Caleb Joseph can be a quality starting catcher in 2017. Still the best defensive catcher the Orioles had/have, and his offense will improve with consistent at bats. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcake Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 It was definitely questionable. Definitely. But Buck is known for being unconventional. Is that an excuse in this type of do or die situation? Absolutely not. As I said in a different thread, it wasn't so much that Britton wasn't brought on, it was that Ubaldo was. Anybody but him in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Showalter is a weird manager. He's one of those kind of guys who can turn around a struggling team and set them up very nicely for a post season run, but he's about the last guy I'd want managing my team in the playoffs. He's already managed two teams who have won World Series titles the year after he was fired (maybe three? I'm not sure), so Orioles fans should be confident that their team will probably lift the trophy the year after they can him.
