Dan isn't 1/4 the manager Lou was.

I agree but managing was done differently too back then.

So in the game when things are going well for Bryce and he’s jacked and ready to go but the plan says out in the fifth.., in with Castillo, and that’s just what we do then why do we even need a manager. It’s like money ball when the gm told the coach what to do up to the point of trading away players, but it’s different cause Dan isn’t resistant, he’s part of the plan. The manager needs to be the guy who pulls the plug or doesn’t pull the plug just at the right time, not after the fact or when he’s told, at the right time. It can be the difference in every one run game

I understand but things are done differently than in the past, I don't like it
because the managers power is limited but yet of course, he's the fall guy.

I definitely blame jd for dans tools but Dan isn’t the most intentional with his tools unless the spread sheat seams to approve.

Remember I mentioned analytics being a big part of the teams
lineups to matchups ect.
I don't care for it but that's how it's being done.

I think I should have included this a while back, not sure everyone
understands this happened.
That was 7 years ago, it has advanced more since that time.

I meant Pereda has options

Oh yeah & of course he should be on the roster as the primary backup C, slide Garver over to the "right-handed bat vs lefties" & send Refsniffles packing. Garver played a little bit of 1B before too, so having 3 catchers could work as long as Garver has positional flexibility, because that's what this front office values more than actual talent & skill. Nothing major like that will happen until the trade deadline though, just like last year with Solano. This is an un-serious franchise & they will continue to prove that unless they make moves prior to the deadline.

Yeah they make decisions not based on who is the best player… it’s crazy.

That's EXACTLY what it is. It's maddening & clearly obvious to anyone watching this silliness.

Ms have talent and promising players in their farm system. Soon, they need to get rid of the likes of Refsnyder and bring in a whole new Lou Pinella type attitude to be the new skipper, whoever that might be. Or at least someone who manages the game like chess, not tiddly winks.

Goldfinger 007 · Jun 21, 2026

Today is the battle to keep from being swept at home by the worst team in the AL AND to stay over a mediocre .500

Unfortunately, they're facing another Hall of Famer lefty that has a great chance to "out pitch" our alleged superior starter

So I understand Raley is down & not available anyway, but do we not all think that either he or Canzone could hit THIS lefty tonight better than Refsniffles who is hitting a pathetic .137 vs mostly lefties? This is not a serious franchise.

And would you look at that..... Canzone just went deep vs this lefty today, while Refsniffles popped out limply. On another note, their guy is cruising with barely 20 pitches thru 2 innings.

Crizilla · Jun 21, 2026

The fact ref is batting ahead of canzone....no words. Not a serious franchise.

Goldfinger 007 · Jun 21, 2026

Well our 1 run lead didn't last long

Ruminator · Jun 21, 2026

Was thinking of watching the Bad News Mariners movie today. But then I changed my mind - I've seen it enough times.

SeahawkSteve80 · Jun 21, 2026

Way to go Refsnyder, ya bum

SoulfishHawk · Jun 21, 2026

Refsnyder is a fricken joke. Dan keeps putting him in there. Let me guess, somehow not his fault

How many times are gonna repeat the same exact line? Just curious.

Goldfinger 007 · Jun 21, 2026

And Refsniffles kills an inning with a GIDP

Chapow · Jun 21, 2026

This god damn Refsnyder bullshit is just infuriating at this point. How is it possible that a ******* major league baseball team continues to do this? This guy shouldn't even be in MLB at this point, much less leading off or in the 5 hole.

Goldfinger 007 · Jun 21, 2026

M's finally got their second hit vs Cy Tolle

It's possible...... Because this isn't a serious franchise

Goldfinger 007 · Jun 21, 2026

This is the unbelievable..... The M's actually have 3 hits in an inning
