['Hamas' Jenkins]

I was in the middle of typing out a long form post and deleted it, because it doesn't really matter. The only thing that matters is firing Mozeliak and Girsch, and here's why:

1) They passed up Donaldson for nothing but salary, and he's hit .280/.404/.511 this month. Maybe that would be an improvement over Gyorko's .227/.333/.273. Just maybe.

2) They traded Pham at the nadir of his value, and in the second half, he has a wRC of 171, including 205 this month. Basically, since going to Tampa, Pham has been the third best hitter in baseball. I ****ing told you guys.... But hey, gotta keep running Dexter Fowler out there to keep losing you games and then stuff an oaf like Martinez in RF once the $80 million albatross blows a tire.

3) They overvalued their glut of average arms in the minors and wouldn't package them to get Yelich, instead getting Ozuna, and there is a five win difference between those players (along with years of additional control for the former).

4) Their hand-picked manager couldn't realize that luck was catching up to Norris, who blew the first two games of the month in spectacular, yet obvious fashion.

5) Their "fixes" were papering over drywall holes using bullshit as an adhesive.


So what are you going to do in 2019? Hope that Molina can hold it together for yet another season? Hope that Wacha and Reyes can actually give you meaningful innings? Hope that all those AAAA pitchers don't regress and destroy their value? Are they actually gonna run Waino out there for one more year on a four start sample?

This team is on the precipice of turning themselves into the Giants if they don't watch out. You have to be able to properly evaluate your players. Because they didn't, they slammed the window from this year on their own fingers and now they don't have one for a couple years to boot. Oh, and they might have just given the Yankees a first baseman for the next half decade for Chasen Shreve and Giovanny Gallegos.

****ing idiots.
