She's splashing jumpers from the logo, and at the apex of each she's ignoring the ball and waving at my family in the ninth row with "hiiiiiii, friends!" She doesn't have a single dark pink sweat stain anywhere. Mr. Aron is booing me. 1115

fivepointnine.bsky.social @fivepointnine.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Schneider may just be a Ron Washington type, best as the #2 on a coaching staff, well-liked but not always the one you want making the final call. Not really an insult. It's hard to be a good field manager. 000
fivepointnine.bsky.social @fivepointnine.bsky.social · 20/09/2026That was the problem he had with Cease recently: despite the no-hitter he wasn't pitching well and a rested, capable bullpen would have taken over sooner. Thankfully they were up against Boone who only has one person who thinks he manages well, and lucky for him it's Cashman. 100
fivepointnine.bsky.social @fivepointnine.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Maybe I'm just dinging him for what his support staff should be doing. Like how many years on the job for this pitching coach now, 20? 22? That's Dave Duncan territory. Pete... you're no Dave Duncan. 100
fivepointnine.bsky.social @fivepointnine.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Monday's gong show, pinch-running for Garbage Can George and then not attempting a steal off a pitcher who never tries to stop the running game AND then losing the game on, stop if you've heard this before, a Kirk double play...that was it for me. He needs a bench coach too. 100

fivepointnine.bsky.social @fivepointnine.bsky.social · 20/09/2026People keep asking me if they're making the playoffs and I say "...would it matter? to make it as the last seed at 79-83?" I know everyone thinks they can manage better than their local team's manager but Schneider is weak on tactics and it holds them back. Has the respect of the players though. 111

fivepointnine.bsky.social @fivepointnine.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Use the same rules that decide whether a pitcher gets a CL/RP/SP label? Like if I have a series coming up against them (whether regular-season or playoff) I want to know how good their regulars are. Chapman is a regular to me. 000

fivepointnine.bsky.social @fivepointnine.bsky.social · 08/08/2026No argument against the Pirates being the worst-run in the big four but I wonder how much trouble I can get into detailing the NHL teams that are worse than Columbus (and that's a high bar to clear given that this is the team where a coach-hosted party killed their goalie) 000
