Durbin is quite a bit worse than Livan imo. He would not be on another team's major league roster, that's no exaggeration.

I'm not posting on here trying to be a negabrave or say outrageous things to stir shite up, but when healthy offensively this team still isn't very good. There are no true 3 and 4 hole hitters, and if your honest with yourself you'll admit both Mac and Uggz are 5 hole hitters. That's a pretty big hole in the lineup.
I'm not flying off the handle saying this because of the inevitable 0-4 start...I've called this since last October and had them finishing 2nd to last in the east if no moves were made.

Baseball is a sport where a great/bad manager is only worth about 3 wins/losses a year. But tonight I think all eight runs can be blamed on Gonzalez.

I agree with this. I think we were all hoping that Heyward would be a legit 3hole guy by now but he is still a ways away.
We really do have a lineup full of 2 and 5,6,7, hole hitters with Bourn at leadoff.

Fredi will disagree with you on that one

Fredi's piss poor bullpen management cost us a hell of a lot more than 3 wins last year. Half the losses in September alone can be attributed to his abuse of O'Ventbrel.

Read the rest of my post. He's the worst manager I've ever watched.

I agree, but you didn't say that.
It was funny when Houston's play by play guy said Fredi had a lot of success in Florida.

I'll admit that I wanted him to succeed Bobby. He won more games in Florida than people expected so I assumed he must have known what the hell he was doing.

Same here, but I'll admit, I didn't really pay much attention to him in Florida while he was there

Which he slept through.
Fredi wasn't even aware that Schafer had the 2nd worst OBP on the team last season.

He had Miguel Cabrera lay down a sac bunt. That's all I needed to know about his stupid ass.

Hahaha I never watched him there. I just knew he won and told that bitch Hanley Ramirez to sit on the bench.
