AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS OPAYING ATTENTION TO THOLE’S FACE WHENEVER THEY SLOWMOW REPLAY CLOSEUPS OF OPPONENT’S FOULBALL SWINGS? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EACH & EVERYONE OF U ALONG WITH ALDERSON, DePODESTA & RICCIARDI KEEP YOUR EYES LOCKED ONTO JOSH’s WHENEVER HE’S CATCHING & THE BATTER IS SWINGING

WHY?

BECAUSE HE’S CLOSING HIS EYES AS IF HE’S ANTICIPATING A FOUL BALL BACK INTO HIS GRILL OR GETING WATERBOARDEDHIS EYES ARE SHUT SO TIGHT AS TO BE REMINISCIENT OF A CHILD @ A HORROR FILM FESTIVAL. NO WONDER HE CAN’T CATCH CLEANLY SO OFTEN & IT’S CERTAINLY NOT THE KNUCKLER’S MOVEMENT.

NO, IT’S NOT EVERY TIME; BUT IT’S CERTAINLY TOO OFTEN FOR ME TO BEAR AT THIS LEVEL; IN FACT, THE ONLY LEVEL I’D FIND IT PREVELANT IN IS POSSIBLT “COACH-PITCH” BASEBALL( 1 TIER UP FROM T-BALL) OBVUIOUSDLY IT’S ONLY VIEWABLE FROM THE CENTERFIELD CAMERA POSITYION & I BELIEVE OJEDA MADE AN OFF THE CUFF REFERENCE TO IT DURING ONE OF HIS POST-GAME CRITIQUES SO, I’M NOT IMGINING ANYTHING.

UNDER THIS CONSIDERATION, I CERTAINLY BELIEVE THAT UNLESS U STAPLE HIS LIDS UP & EYES OPEN ALL ARGUEMENTS IN HIS FAVOR ARE VOIDED/TRUMPED AS U CAN’T CATCH EFFECTIVELY WHAT U WON’T SEE.

As others have asked as well, there is no way to determine how much the decrease in actual revenue is but I am sure it is way more than the claimed 4.7 percent drop in ticket sales and that the no shows caused an even further drop in concession sales.

That quote from Sports illustrated summed it up perfectly.

If our “Fearless Leaders” don’t make a serious effort sign RA or Wright to contract extensions or continue to have that “Deer in the Headlights” look when asked about improving the club I can see the attendance reaching 1979 levels of 778,905.
Maximum Suckage.

Yeah but he’s right in Sandy’s budget sweet spot!

Slightly above DIRT!

Well, I got my laugh for the day.

Is Ted is on crack? Keep Thole?!?! The man is GARBAGE. He can catch the knuckleball? That’s pretty much the only thing he’s capable of doing defensively. Implying that Thole cant be easily replaced is downright laughable.

Sandy Alderson is the Carl Icahn of baseball!

Attendance down three straights seasons, this plan of Alderson’s is working wonders on the field. What’s that nine losing seasons in a row on his resume now? At what point can we just refer to him as a loser?
