re: What does Jay Johnson bring to the table?

He hasn't managed this team well at all. He treats it like last years team...playing for the HR ball. He doesnt move guys on the basepaths, put pressure on the other team, and find ways to score runs without XBHs. Instead we hit pop ups and keep ourselves in DP situations. And when we do get the HR it seems to be a solo shot.

The bullpen management has also been abysmal. I don't fault him so much this week but the previous couple weekends were really bad. I understand a lot of pitchers haven't panned out to be who we thought they were, but at some point you have to move on from that and find ways to put the right guys in the right spots. We are losing to teams with inferior talent due to inferior management.

Lastly the talent evaluation was not very good either especially on the pitching side.

With all that said, he still gets the benefit of the doubt in my book and deserves time to right the ship
