Hiring Dusty Baker over Bud Black should have told anyone paying attention this team was freaked.
The good:
- Trea Turner is pretty fast and did pretty well playing CF
- They didn't give Harper or Ramos another Zimmmm style extension
- Werth is only around for one more year.
The bad:
- Same crap lineup, same crap results
- Harper is an idiot.
- Rendon is another Zim: peaked early and will be an injury case soon
- Dusty Baker was a bum before he got hired, he's a bum today and he'll be a bum tomorrow
- Mike Rizzo is a fool that, again, didn't make any trade deadline moves that mattered
- Werth is only around for another year
- Strasburg won't have TJS and will come back next season, blow his arm out again, and be out for 18 months again
- Dusty Baker is going nowhere
Trea made some good and bad plays in CF. Speed will win him some there. Maybe a full offseason practicing does him well. I'd rather get an actual CF and move Trea to SS.
Yes
Werth was good, up until this game. I expected nothing from him all year, and he surprised. I'm going into next season expecting even less. Hopefully he gets looks at 1B, because he's a terrible LF.
Yes
Still think that was a BS balk. Harp should've gotten back, but there's a reason a balk is a rule.
I like Rendon still. Not clutch though. Doesn't seem to care. Maybe he does
Baker sucks as a manager. He'll keep 'em loose in garbage time reg. season games, but craps the bed in the postseason. He'll never win.
Not getting into Rizzo talk
See above
Not expecting much from Stras. Fine signing/trading for another vet pitcher.
Sadly, yes
