Nice recap David. I’m ready for the offseason. I haven’t payed as close attention here the last month or so anyway, but once DM was let go. I’m just ready for all the changes to occur at this point. I think realizing you are behind the Tigers who have been an unmitigated disaster this year also kinda kicks ya in the balls and makes it ready to be over. Lol

Proving once again that there is no better team to get your start against in the big show, Brennan and Naylor looked like future HoFers on Sunday.

If Isbel was starting in right instead of OHearn, I don't see Cleveland having that big of a 2nd inning. Makes zero sense to play O'Hearn there, but add that to list of things to look forward to with new mgmt.

It was great to see the team chip away and make this a competitive game. I told my wife I would not be surprised to see a lineup in the last 3 games with all rookies. Thoughts on that? Would show us what next season would look like, sans Salvy in the lineup.

I don't believe the staff is that bad and look forward, too what I hope, is a change in coaching and managerial direction. Surely the ENTIRE pitching staff is not that bad, with a few exceptions.

Am looking forward to what the next week tells us about ownership and JJ. I would like to believe there is enough talent that they could attract quality coaches to move the team forward. What about the possibility of Pedro Grifol as manager?

Can't wait for your off season recap and what the next season holds!

Thanks for recap of weekend. I've pretty much quit watching for this year. Too much football to watch, to watch the end of this disaster of a year. Looking forward to some news Wednesday night or Thursday on how many are out the door. Looking forward to your writing that is ahead the in the coming months.

Great stuff, as usual. Here's what gets me regarding Arizona... Strom was the pitching coach for the Royals under Muser in 2000-2001. Guess no one could help those staffs!
