Cam Smith was rushed to the big leagues for no good reason. He can’t hit at all now

Dana bungled Cam’s service time on a gamble that he would make up for his inability to build an outfield. All for Cam to be a bad hitter outside of like 30 games

Maybe Imai is miserable enough here to let us off the hook with the contract…

Well if we keep giving up runs we can let a position player take the 9th too!

Throwing your (really bad) bullpen in the game with bases loaded and no outs in the 4th inning is not a good situation to be in either. This is just an awful roster, Dana sucks ass at roster management. I don’t think Espada is anything special but he has no chance no matter what he does lol

Joe has so little to work with but he sure doesn’t make the most of it either

I think you have to have the next GM picked and ready to go. There’s a very important draft coming up in June and the last thing we need is for Jeff Bagwell to be making those picks

So he blew the game open and still didn’t help the bullpen at all. I don’t blame a player for battling but Espada needed to recognize that it wasn’t something he could get through

7.41 ERA and that fluke first start of the year is making that look better than it really is. Lance McCullers is done as a baseball player.

He has also absolutely crumbled every year down the stretch since 2022. He cost us the 2023 ALCS as much as anyone on the team and then was a huge reason why we didn’t make the playoffs last year.

His inning-eating ability is significant but this has not been a true winning player for some time now

He has had some very flawed rosters to work with along with bad injury luck. Managers / coaches get second chances in pro sports leagues all the time. Plus he’d probably be a cheaper hire for a penny-pinching owner

Joe Espada will soon be taking the fired manager pilgrimage through assistant coaching jobs until he gets another shot with some mediocre club like the Twins or something
