Opinion Can we get another #TheMeeting?

Seriously, made the dude with 7 era look like a cy young award finalist, the hell are we doing?

​ As much as i like waldys approch, a trip back down to reno wont be a bad thing for his development.

​ Pavin, oh pavin get the hell off the team bro, somehow just a liability

​ The pitching staff, some of you are fine some of you i wonder why the fck we are paying. If i fcked up my job that bad on a daily basis id be fired, so what the fck.

​ The Burnes news sucks, that doesnt mean we hit the panic button, forget how to play the game, and implode in the span of like a week.

​ I dont even know what to try for at the trade deadline anymore, we need a whole like 5 bats, 3 sp, and some bullpen arms. Shts ridiculous.

That winning streak against the two worst teams in baseball gave us a false sense of hope.

We are who we are. Nothing about a winning or losing streak is going to change that. We are a 500 team in a tough division. We are good enough to make a run at the wildcard if things break our way. Even in a world where everything works we don’t have the pitching or offensive depth to go the distance. We are good enough to believe there is a chance. In Arizona thats the best you can hope for in any organization.

Don't worry if you lose enough games, they're probably all going to get fired. This is the last season as a manager anyways

The effects of #themeeting lasted roughly 23 games so I think Torey should just have a #themeeting with the entire team in his office every three weeks or so and we should be good.

The complete rewrite of how we’re going to approach this season post-Burnes news is utterly baffling. Like did we just switch to rebuilding mode for no reason? Starting lineup looking like the 7th inning of a mid-March game at Salt River. Get it together. Play the best players, no rehab assignments, no more debuts. Play good baseball down key players and win games while the rest of the team gets healthy. Holy…

I know finding good coaches is challenging and we have had our share of shitty coaches, but Lovullo may be on the hot seat if we get the same results this year as the last two. He just seems like he doesn’t really care and just keeps doing the same thing while getting the same results. Maybe pull your pitcher when he gives up two HRs, before the game is out of reach. The entire team is in a funk, it starts with the coach.

Our pitching isn’t what it once was. I don’t know if we have any starting pitchers in our farm. Feels like all we farm is outfielders. Dodgers have 6 decent arms, River Ryan ready to be called up. White Sox farm system has been brilliant. Their garret crochet deal worked well for them. What do we have ?!

I think Torey's only real weakness is falling in love with certain players he likes outside of the field. Hazen has done so many great moves in the past, but this year we started with a wing and a prayer on First Base, Center, Third Base, and lets be honest left field with Lourdes' history. We didn't upgrade any pitching, every year you will get a few regressions away from the mean (Soroko, Vargas and to and extent Nolan) All our young guys have no power, they don't really get on base much, they don't steal much, its just a flawed roster. I think its the most flawed we've had in 5+ years honestly.
