That's pretty tough, considering game 3 is usually the pivotal game.
He stunk this year but he should really be remembered positively. He was a huge part of turning this organization around. I know you're a robot about this stuff but come on now.

With respect to Kisla's column (which I'm gonna guess nobody actually saw), it's fine to criticize Guthrie. That's what columnists do - honest appraisals. I highly doubt he had some axe to grind vs Guts, just like I don't.
Guts made 27M here and was worth 4.9M. That's not a good contribution. We could've applied that $ elsewhere and been no worse.
