He has only played one game above A ball.  He needs to go to Richmond to prove he can hit at the AA level before being considered for a bump to The Show….

I've seen enough of Slater and Yaz. Losers. Dump em. Time to take a chance. 81 wins is pure shit these days.

90 wins is certainly enough to make the playoffs in this era.  And as the Phillies are demonstrating - just sneak into the playoffs and who knows how far you can go…

Actually, 87 was enough.  Six more wins, and the Giants would have been in, particularly with their 5-1 record against the Phillies this year. The Giants were 24-27 in one run games or games that went into extra innings this year.  In 2021, they were 35-19.  With that same record, they would have tied San Diego.

For me, the great frustration was that the Giants were 10-9 against the Dodgers last year, and 4-15 against the Dodgers this year. Ty Willingham was a mediocre coach who overreached with Notre Dame and Washington (and showed a jaw-dropping lack of class) but at least he beat Cal every year.
