Tomorrow they interview Buck Showalter who has ties to the president and GM. They are going to interview Joe Girardi next since they are going to NY to interview both.
If you think this season was bad with injuries to pitchers, you ain't seen nothing yet. Big Dust will have Nola throwing 130-140 pitches per start, landing Nola on the DL by June. Dusty has never learned how to properly handle pitching staffs in his stops at San Francisco, Chicago (where he ruined the promising careers of Mark Prior and Kerry Wood due to overuse), Cincinnati and Washington.

Middleton is essentially placating to the vocal fans at this point with the firing of Kapler & the old guys they’re seemingly interviewing.
Did he ruin Strasburg or Scherzer? Not that you dont have a point but Kerry Wood had arm issues well before Baker took over. Regardless, I wouldnt want him to be the manager, cause he is a retread.
Stras was hurt a lot when Dusty was there and as a Reds fan he killed pitchers there also. Bailey and Volquez could never stay healthy under him.

Middleton goes out of his way to say they want to find the next Craig Counsell. 0% chance they don't hire a "Name".

I guess the good thing is the manager doesn’t really matter a whole ton these days. But the mindset is concerning when it possibly leaks into player acquisition.
Is Middleton going to push the front office to go overpay on some washed up name player in free agency?

i dont get the comparsation with john middleton and jerry jones, jerry jones still wouldnt get rid of his coach for 8 years after medicore seasons and bring any talent on that team. john middleton is more like Hal Steinbrenner, brings in talent and changes managers.

They should get trashed there, though (I think).

Little doubt in my mind. We'll never hear the end of it

I don’t think they stand a chance against the Yankees or Astros. Only so far this magical ride can take them.

It's baseball. Anything can happen. Washington's staff is unhittable right now.

The only thing I can remember that rivals this Cardinals power outage was this, quite possibly the most nauseating thing I have ever witnessed in Philadelphia sports:

You lured me into a baseball thread.
In between Flyers goals in that series, I could have read every Shakespearean play, flown to and from Australia... twice, watched every episode of Gunsmoke and had enough time left over to develop an interest in farming and see my crops harvested and shipped. Or so it seemed.

You're in luck! The 2019-20 Philadelphia Flyers can give you that same experience but while winning games thanks to this lovely schedule!!!!

Hey boss, next time that happens, I'll tell you what you can do, a perfect time suck - start playing Farmville on Facebook. You won't thank me, but it will absolutely murder the time.
