Nice work David. I struggle to read too much into Heasley’s last couple performances to be honest. I know you alluded to it in your article as well. But at this point everyone is just playing out the string. Certainly rather see good outings than bad. But no information at this point should really change what we think we know on him….which is…..I don’t know. I lean more to the not thinking it is really going to work…but I’m certainly willing to give him time with new coaches and see what happens.
On Matheny, if you are going to move on from him just wait till the offseason at this point. The argument can be made why not do it now….but I’d also argue…why? I’m sure he knows what is coming and going on. Just let him enjoy managing the guys a few more games. You aren’t going to get a read on an interim manager with this few games left anyway.
I believe Heasley's performance needs to be evaluated with this thought in mind - how effective has the coaching been. Is been mentioned many times that poor coaching up and down the system has gotten the team to this point. Brady is just now figuring out out. Heasley has an edge to him that I like. Same with Amir. Wonder why we don't see more pitchers like AL Hrobosky? Just a different level of energy.
One thing I found humorous during the game yesterday was a comment Rex made when Bobby hit his double. It was his 29 double of the year. One more and he'll have 30. Gotta find something entertaining where you can!
I'm starting to think Olivares can hit MLB pitching....

Good to see guys ready to do damage on fastballs

Thanks for your insight as always.
I know this: I’m looking forward to the first normal offseason since 2019. I’m sure Mr. Sherman and JJ are too.
