How many playoff games have they won in those 3 years? Let me help you….zero. All three wild card games. Two of those years they lost in embarrassing fashion as an indirect result of management stupidity. Change is needed and continuing to fill the stadium only fuels the excuses to keep these incompetent boobs.
Chase for 200 = Chase for 70. Doesn’t gets completed
I assume he and the guy that fills out the lineup he gives him will be let go tomorrow.
I don’t think that’s happening. I’m hoping the first thing that happens is Vladdy is signed or the hitting coaches are gone.
I agree he should be gone but all indication is he won’t be. I think Shapiro and Click will have more influence on the offseason.
At points it feels like one would have a better chance unlocking the secrets of the universe than trying to understand bullpen consistency from year to year.
Anyone who doesn’t think Atkins should be fired should give their heads a shake. Team can’t hit, can’t pitch, can’t play defence, has a sad farm system, no future, bad coaches, etc. yet there are people defending Atkins and Shapiro. Unbelievable. What this team does have is a loyal fan base that deserves better.
I think there's a small minority within the fanbase who defend Atkins. Most would be satisfied to see him go.
As far as i'm concerned the entire organization sans Pete Walker and maybe Click should have been gone after that wild card series against Minnesota last season.
After the Twins series at a minimum, the hitting coaches and Atkins should have been gone. Here we are and Atkins seems like a lock to be back and there's no word of changes with the hitting coaches.
If Shapiro and Atkins aren't shit canned, I can already 100% guarantee you they won’t be.
I can’t wait to hear Atkins’ impending nauseating pie-in-the-sky speech about the state of this franchise. He’ll find excuses and gloss over the historically bad state of this franchise. A pathetic September punctuated with a 1-5 homestand including being swept by a 100 loss team will be minimized and attributed to the youth learning what it takes to be regulars in the majors. He’ll talk about the importance of stability and change f*** all in his coaching staff again. He’ll talk about the bad luck of losing Romano or the injuries to Bo as a reason they finished as the 24th best team in the majors. And the best part, there are posters in here lauding the fact they made the playoffs the last 3 seasons so he’s doing a good job! Laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic. Some of this loyal, if not blind fanbase, deserves Shapiro and Atkins.
