Bullpen coach for an awful Giants bullpen, not much other coaching experience to speak of, mediocre playing career, and part of the steroid scandal as a player.

Awful, awful hire. This was the best we could do?

Torey will be happy with another go-fer. But
we won't.

Is there any doubt that our Pitching Coaches
are not decision makers?

It is not the formula for rising above a perennial
.500 performing team.

Sadly, 2020 is going to be a long, sad season
for the D-backs.

Management is not showing 20-20 vision. :(

San Francisco had the 6th best bullpen ERA in the majors.

Good guy. He’s taken full ownership and accountability of his steroid use.
Supposedly he is a guy who connects well with players.

We could’ve done worse...

I wish we would see the new Diamondbacks next season, as the Suns have done,
specifically the Head Coach. :)

But it looks like it will be the same ol' Diamondbacks next season. With a new
errand boy as Pitching Coach.

If by “same ol’ diamondbacks” you mean a team that exceeds everyone’s expectations, then I will take it.

Until the last two series against weak teams, the D-backs
were no more than two games above or below .500, just
as the previous season.

At a record breaking pace, not to be proud of.

That is the definition of MEDIOCRITY. Yes, I'll shout it!

If you'r please with continued and consistent mediocrity,
that's your choice.

But I'm sorry to "offset" your opinion (if that's your
"special purpose") :)

Continued mediocrity is not why I root for the D-backs.

Seriously! With the prospect of it continuing next year.
