Breslow is a joke.
-
Im just mad that it was the stiff who ended it. Not that it ended.
-
Hes not even the Chad Tracy I thought he was. Hes not the one who played 3b for the dbacks.
-
Trace Thompson.
-
Im worried that Breslow will purposefully let Tracy ride it out to buy himself next year. Well , lets see how my team does with a non-rookie manager. I just dont like how Breslow gets to dodge accountability here.

Question of the week: are you optimistic?

thats fun too. -
Regardless, I have a hard time believing that swapping Duran/Anthony in the batting order makes a team go from worst from first. Nor do I believe that playing a SS who is better suited for 2b would have this giant effect. Really, I dont think a manager needs to be perfect. I think most of the time, the roster is what it is and that GM/CBO is a much much much more important job. If this team goes on a run now, I dont think its because new manager is better. I think if anything, maybe the change kicked some in the rear. Or maybe its just guys evening out as the sample gets larger. Some WBC hangovers wearing off. Of course, if the team finishes with a better winning % without Cora than they did with him, Bres will take a victory lap. Cuz hes an azz.

It means we dont have enough good batters.

Knowing SF, you may still need a roommate. Highest avg rent in USA (I think) -
In a red sox era that has significantly more last place finishes than playoff series wins, joe brady and moon are here to remind us that we cant be frustrated because some of the players we wanted but didnt get have gone south for the teams that did get them.
-
In a battle of who is at fault between Cora and Breslow over DHam, Joe Brady is here to blame us.
-
Im of the opinion that we got decent utility out of Dham.
-
Really, we are 8 years into a rebuild and it feels like we are in year 1 or 2.
-
Surprising that things would come this far off the rails, yes. Surprising that JH didnt laugh at Breslow for suggesting the change, sure. But things did come pretty far off the rails. My question is are they punting on the season by doing this now or trying to find a hail mary catalyst for a 2026 turnaround?
-
And what Breslow didnt say is "im getting rid of the main competition for my job"
-
I do think the fact that Cora was here for so long made it easy for Bres to sell ownership on axeing Cora. I think they jumped right on board. Its not a particularly hard sell from a superficial POV. You know we have more talent than our record, right JH? Cora has been here for a while, right JH? No manager (or executive) lasts forever, right JH? This isnt the first time it wsa simply time to part with a good manager, right JH? Cora has been teh common link between the last 3 admins , right JH? He wasnt my hire, right? And how can you assess me if there are still relics and holdovers from prior admins......
-
I honestly think its the ownership group wanting to spend more time with grandkids and other ventures. I think they are more open to delegating than they have been in the past and they just want someone to handle the C-level operations for them.
-
Im not sure Henry actively wanted Cora gone, but I think Brez easily made the case that Cora had been here through multiple disappointing regimes and could be the problem and that Brez himself cant be fairly assessed unless he gets the keys in full. He managed to buy himself some time.
-
I can agree with that. It still leaves room for Breslow to be the primary architect jsut with some guardrails. But I think it was ultimately Breslow who bungled it with Bres, flipped Devers, went all pitching, and fired Cora. JH prob had to give the ok, but I think JH gives Breslow the space to do his thing, mostly.
-
Yes, and the relationship felt doomed from the get-go. At the beginning of last year, it felt like they werent in sync, then it felt like it improved throughout last year, and thats when I stopped dogging Breslow (as much) until he gave me new reasons to (no bat at deadline, bad offseason, more bad communication). I do agree that part of it was the situation. Internal drama is no good. Ive seen it first hand. Employees sabotaging each other, its like - folks , we have enough to compete against outside these walls cant be battling internally too.
-
Personally, I saw how well it went when Brad Stevens went from coach to executive and I thought it was worth a shot for Cora. I also like how Cora sees humans when putting a ballclub together and not names on a spreadsheet. Cora, I think, understands that these are all individuals. Breslow does not.
-
Im in the minority here but I dont think Breslow is JH's yes man. I think Breslow is firming running the show and making the decisions and this is on him, squarely. Which is good news because they wont sell the team but they may sack Breslow after the year.
-
I dont think the housecleaning is over. I think T-2 weeks until Story has money eaten and is flipped for relief pitch prospects.
-
Or at the very least, hire good coaches that will help the guys and he didnt really do that either. I do think Cora would make a better executive than coach, and to me, thats the issue here. Also Breslow doing nothing to help this feel like a team/family/unit/chemistry. Its all an individual players approach.
