Does our playoff hopes die this weekend?

Scanned through some recorded MLB network shows this afternoon. All of them think we are dead man walking. The Dodgers have too much talent and our schedule is the worst.

I sat in the same section earlier this week. Nice seats with a privateish option for food with some tables you can actually sit down and eat at.

We parked in the garage at the northwest corner of the stadium. $20 may not be the cheapest but you are literally one turn onto 64 and can get onto 70 that way.

Thanks for the info!

This team is back to being unwatchable trash again. The extension for Shildt was a mistake.

Shildt bringing in Norris now to make my point.

its not Shildts fault they have two hits. Carp is looking to walk instead of mash.

Oh did Shildt go to the Dodgers clubhouse this afternoon and tell Buehler to be unhittable today?

or tell Carp to swing at a pitch that bounced 3 ft. in front of the plate?

Exactly. Shildt didn't fix the offense or the bullpen, it was mirage.

If he bombs in his first full season he'll be easy to move on from, of course his job is probably tied to Mozeliak's too so he might get all the time in the world.

Yes, this is Mo's hand picked manager. Hired him, developed him as a manager. He gets full credit if Shildt turns out to be a top shelf manager.

If Shildt fails it also taints Larussa, Oquendo, Molina and all the other minor league coaches who publicly vouched for him as a manager.

That said...........

We dont know if Mo wanted to fire Matheny a couple of years ago. He wanted to hire Franco but Dewitt wanted Matheny. We will never know those things. Shildt's going to get another year. If we revert back to Matheny level play, they are only out chump change to move on.

I'm not really a Mo supporter but I'm not on the fire him bandwagon either. I'm giving him this off season to do more than the usual moves to make this team a legitimate playoff team again. See if Shildt is the real deal. Or else I'm on the that run him out of town on a rail team.

Not the way to start the game.
