I find it hard to believe the silent one isn't fully involved and pulling the strings so how much of this is him or Sandy...... do any of you know? Also doesn't this D Wright situation need to be resolved. Come on David call your friend Cuddyer and ask him how to bow out gracefully for the good of the team as we know you have it in you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674150694486256724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-36487368523083307542017-07-20T17:39:24.717-04:002017-07-20T17:39:24.717-04:00You did, Reese!You did, Reese!Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-16918341475941178232017-07-20T16:45:00.849-04:002017-07-20T16:45:00.849-04:00@Adam -- and don't forget a new manager, too. ...@Adam -- and don't forget a new manager, too. However, I do have a rare item of praise for the Skipper today. He kept Conforto in CF and inserted Granderson in RF. That's smart (and uncharacteristic) since the club needs to see if Conforto is a viable long term option to man CF. They already know what Granderson can do there and he's not part of the 2018 team. I wonder who suggested to Terry to do that?Reese Kaplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993445356545875409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-48368942767132893882017-07-20T16:34:21.515-04:002017-07-20T16:34:21.515-04:00I will admit...never heard of Kahnle. 62 Ks in 37 ...I will admit...never heard of Kahnle. 62 Ks in 37 innings?

Grandy, for instance, would be owed $1 million less on July 31 than on July 21.
