Phillies @ Dbacks

Someone needs to get canned, I mean I know the players are generally lousy, but the FO needs to shake some things up, this team is absolutely abysmal.

Brenly said Bracho shouldn't even be pitching that late, (looking at you Chip)

"that late"?? Not sure what that means...but early or late, Bracho shouldn't be pitching!

The person who needs to get canned happens to own the team. Next in line is his right hand man.

Unfortunately, he will be the one firing people.

I know. When ownership is an issue with the team it can feel rather helpless.

Really, I'd accept a less hands on approach from Kendrick as a compromise. On some levels, an absent owner is better than a meddling one who isn't good at playing GM.

Everyone on the Diamondbacks staff from Derek Hall on down need to be fired this team is pathetic

I wonder how hands-on Tony LaRussa is behind the scenes. After all, he was an extremely successful Manager. Case in point. Tony was big on pitchers batting 8th. And now Chip is batting pitchers 8th.

As the Grand Wazool of all D-backs baseball operations, Tony is ultimately responsible for all on-field results. If creating a "super" position for Tony were working, great. But, it is not working.

The team's inconsistency is my greatest concern. And, why oh why, can't they win at home? Steve and BB have joked about it, but it is no laughing matter.
