this is a lot of words. Breslow deserves to lose his job because he is a pompous jerk and if you are going to be a pompous jerk you better have the results. And he as of right now, does not have the results.

Good post, and my issue is that when I voiced concerns last year about Breslows ability to treat people with respect and not make interpersonal conflicts worse, I was told a good amount of yeah, hes a jerk but I mean, we are going to make the playoffs so yay! And all that matters is record. And then its like okay, now we are in last place, so the whole "you have to accept Breslow's shortcomings because our record" does not apply, so again I voice concerns with Breslow's ability to human....Im told record/standings dont matter. The only thing that does matter is that people here called for a few signings that probably wouldnt have worked out , so breslows job is safe. And bellhorn returned and I noticed him say something like we are just knuckleheads on a forum, thats not a fair bar for breslow and im surprised to even see that raised.....and hes right. Breslow should have been fired long ago for a lack of leadership, a lack of an ability to be a human. Thats why he is known as bresbot. That is why even Theo voiced that he doesnt get human beings. You need to be able to communicate and you need to understand humans to be in any leadership role. And that is not arguable. The best IT department head is not the best coder. The best baseball manager is not hte best baseball player. And Ive seen it with my eyes. Yes, you have grumbly senior coders who moan that they are better at the technical side of their job than their boss, but manager of IT job description and coder are different. As a CBO, there is an expectation of leadership capabilities. Of communication capabilities. And Breslow fails to meet that. Last year, I begrudgingly accepted well, he got us to the playoffs despite his flaws.....But I am not willing to accept okay, sure , hes terrible and communicating, and sure he went all in on pitching and defense and now we cant hit, and sure hes ruined relationships, and yes we took a huge step back record-wise but breslow gets a pass because joey bagadonuts on a forum wanted bregman and that wouldnt have worked out (even though thats impossible to know).

that is wrong. Breggie was signed to play 2b.

Repo man was also a great wrestler. Great feud with the big boss man in the early nineties

Does he climb the ladder? Is that the ending?

derek lowe and jenny dell for me.

well, if you play more eaton and you get ethan salads, then youll be eaton salads and that solves obesity. so my answer is obesity.

or trade him. whatever. im thinking about what im going to order from orourkes.

okay, well i ask you this----when you think of jacob degromm in recent years , do you thing about an available workhorse?

extend him. you already have to pay him 10m if he walks. Sooo, that in mind 2 @ 35 each. 70 total. Its really 60 cuz we are saving the 10m buyout. He deserves it. He came home with a last of names.

oh, no not mike borrows. Guess he burrowed his way down to AAA.

From dude to doody Little poop joke 4 u

The best movie ever made is the animated Transformers movies from the mid-late 80s with Orson Welles as Unicron.

I think all this efficiency chasing is the problem. Live with redundancy. Injuries will take care of it. We had sooo many outfielders starting the year that Moon wanted to trade 2 of them for salary relief and a cusp 40 man roster reliever. Then we didnt. We count on injuries on the pitcher side and applaud Breslow when he goes 14 MLB starters deep. But on the position player side its : we HAVE to have an every day spot for 9 players and 9 players only, anything else would be wasteful. Breslow is awful. His strategy of penny pinching and going max efficiency on bats is awful. But yet, hes okay going 14 pitchers. He really is capn crunch berries, oops all berries but hes oops all pitchers. Except contreras.

You can lose your job despite having a guaranteed salary. Happens all the time.

Agree 10,000% Plus, I believe Cora is a better leader.

except for maybe the singing brothers.

It means that I side more the original statement than your rebuttal and Id rather get stars than find reasons why we dont need them.

wake me up when the brewers win a championship

This is giving "Come to Cleveland, where at least we're not Detroit" vibes. I dont hate it.

The league penalties should be as follows: COntreras 3 game suspension. Cavalli: has to bare-knuckle box Contreras 3 rounds.

I may have misjudged you.

Correct, Cavalli is a bitch and I do not blame Contreras for not staying in the game. If Contreras only gets 3 games, but if he had gotten to him - he pummeled him and got 8 games....Id rather take the 8 game suspension. Agreed Cavalli is not trying to fight, hes just trying to get the player to react , and Cavalli deserves to get beaten up. Im actually not mad at Contreras. My fandom of Contreras went up. I withdrew the like on A700hitters post that Willson is a hot head and thumbs downed Freds he needs to stay cool.

They fire Breslow, hire Cora as CBO, and have Cora tell Breslow. Breslow: What are you doing in my office? Cora: What are you doing in MY office? Thats my dream

Kind of feels like a grade A setup of contreras, which is why I intentionally withdrew my like on A700 hitters post (no offense to A700). We know Contreras had a hot-head rep even before coming here. So he has that working against him. He has ejection in prior night working against him (which also appears dubious btw). And Cavatalli pasta or whatever, is playing the "we're both competitors and words were said. I think he only reacted like that because of whats going on in Venezuela" card (note the intentional omission of the specific words that were said). Fox News in their headline, left out the word "boy" in their headline. Contreras ejected after reacting for being told to sit down. A devastating earthquake in Venezuela, add that to the list of things currently being weaponized against Contreras. I get how this looks like an emotional player , having an emotional reaction, when he has something else going on (the grief over the earthquake). But this all smells very gross. And my wish is not that Contreras didnt calm down , and Im not mad at him for "not staying in the game for his teammates". Im just mad he didnt get to land any real punches at Cavatalli.
