    I want him back based on what I have been told about his ability to disect film and use that to help pitchers be more effective and exploit hitters' weaknesses.

    I want him back based on what I have read about his ability to game plan.

    Ok sure. It’s just that he didn’t help our pitchers be more effective at exploiting hitter weakness. He was just Dusty’s guy.

    I'd love to have Maldy back as a coach. He'd make a good one

    If you say so. I'm sure you know more and better than the people who actually watched and/ or experienced it.

    We can just agree to disagree now.

    Ok, Buck

    Based on what he posted on social media and then deleted, I can't stand the dude.

    No need to get chippy. What were they gonna say? Were they gonna say there was no upside to his crappy numbers? He was Dusty’s guy and he was jettisoned with Dusty.

    I love that he responded to you, @Tomstro, and threw in a little thing at me, right at the end.

    I've loved, loved, the Idaho wilderness the few weeks I've been there. I'm glad you've got it all figured out, not sure if I could. You're good people, carry on.

    No doubt the pitchers loved him, but... sometimes an ******* like AJ Pierzynski or Christian Laettner is needed to get results.

    Another quality arm that can lighten the work load for the big 3 - can give them a day off every once in awhile.
