It's an interesting situation, because at times he talks like he's already part of the front office, more so than any manager I remember. And the owners must like him to not have fired him already. You never know what's going to happen with this team. They keep you guessing.
-
deGrom should be the clincher, really. He got 5 years/$185 mill from Texas. He hasn't won more than 11 games in any season since 2017. In his back to back Cy Young seasons he won 21 games TOTAL.

8 game winner Gray - $75 mill 12 game winner Nola - $172 mill 10 game winner Monty - ???
-
Or "there will come a day" which is what he said about spending big on free agents again...
-
Good try, but it doesn't explain why he's getting a lot more money than Winner Wacha.
-
Nobody pitches 235 any more - that's part of the deal here. Again, it's just the simple facts. I'm not a young man either, I just turned 68. But I like facts, I can't help it.
-
Sam is just too much.
-
The wins don't take care of themselves any more, that's the whole point. Sonny Gray was a silly-looking 8 and 8 last year with a 2.79 ERA in 184 innings. 2nd in the AL Cy Young voting. Signed a contract with the Cardinals for $25 mill a year. All facts, all truth.
-
Just chuck out the wins and it all makes perfect sense!
-
You can't handle the truth!
-
If Denny and Red were true to their principles, they'd be calling out Dombrowski as the biggest jackass on the planet for paying Nola 172 million when he could have had Wacha for a fraction of that.
-
It's funny, you've got Price, Verlander and Kershaw, they all struggled badly in the postseason until they finally had their moment in the sun. They were all fortunate, really, to get as many chances as they did.
-
I won't. Nor will I be shocked if he struggles.
-
You know whose opinion matters on this? The people who pay these guys. And those people are making it obvious that W-L record means dogsquat. That's the fact you guys can't get past.
-
You're probably right that Bauer is a better guy. Bauer is just not very smart more than anything...
-
Clevinger should be swimming in dough right now!
-
But it also shows that Bloom was a Baboon for not re-signing Winner Wacha!
-
I'll tell ya what matters. Getting a contract for 172 mill with a 32-31 record over your last 3 seasons. That matters bigly.
-
Yes, we all be buzzardin'.
-
Never too early for samples. :D
-
So do we think Jordan Montgomery will be "hurt" by the fact he's going to get a lot more money than Mike Wacha? Shouldn't Wacha be the one who's "hurt'?
-
Sure, there are plenty of things that are true but don't matter.
-
I think everyone would agree that pitching 6 innings and allowing 2 runs would be a good performance by a starter. To get a win in that situation, you need: a) Your hitters to score at least 3 runs in the 6 innings. Your relievers not to blow the lead. Obviously neither one is a slam dunk.
-
Good one.
-
There will be plenty of watching the out of town scoreboard, that's for sure.
