Neither one of those guys were allowed to finish their initial contracts let alone get extended and they had worse rosters to manage.Quote:

Ultimately this rebuild will dependent on their willingness to acquire talent and Jed’s ability to make correct decisions.
Also, Jed about to hire a new GMQuote:

The new GM won't be hiring the next manager as long as Hoyer is here. Hoyer is the VP. He's the decision maker.

What are considered the problems with Ross? The clubhouse-under the hood stuff is just speculation and guessing until we hear something from anyone on the inside.
What we’ve seen is teams with a thin, flawed roster get out of the gate and play well for 60-70 games. Which might be something.
He seemed to handle the bullpen well when he had one. Not watching as much, does he have any bad tendencies? He doesn’t seem to bunt much with position players, which is good.
It’s just a little hard to judge him with the goofy 60 game season last year and the decision to tank on the fly this year.
I've got zero issues with Ross. He's been fine. He mostly makes the right choices for the lineup, the BP management is mostly good. He seems to be in lockstep with baseball ops which is good. Ross is a fine manager.

Looks like another Hoyer loss; no Chafin, no Tepera. Oh, that's right, we want Cubs to lose to get that better draft pick. Never mind, Mr. Hoyer.
Every single result is immaterial right now. Unplug yourself.Quote:

He's still probably too much of a nice guy but he's a decent manager overall it seems.Quote:

Slight chance, problem comes not only the Pirates but the Cardinals if they clinch a WC spot will probably rest guys next weekend.Quote:
