This is unusual. usually, you kick the manager upstairs, the way the twins did with Molitor.

Molitor isn’t staying with the team.

The front office literally shed most of the talent and WAY overpaid a sub .200 “slugger.”

To blame this season of the skipper is blame-shifting.

Buckey is from my home town of DeFuniak Springs, Florida.

Do you know who his minor-league roommate was? (He’s also a big-league manager.)

He was offered a front-office job, unlike Showalter.

Brad Ausmus is looking for a job. He has my lowest possible recommendation.

Twins owners and executives are self-serving aholes and everyone knows it.

Mollie wants to teach/coach/manage.

Twins wanted to make it look like they wanted to keep Mollie.

He decided that he didn’t want to be the VP of looking out the window.

Twins will be losers for decades to come.

Ping me when this team changes ownership, and I mean CHANGES, not just passes it on.

I’ll never forgive this scumbag Angelos for ruining my team.

If you ask me....it might also be the time to consider moving the team. They had a 40-year low on attendance, 1.5-million for the year. The competition from the Nats is harming the local market. Toss in the local city environment and decline of Baltimore itself....maybe they ought consider some move to Las Vegas.

Unfortunately for Bick, he crapped the bed immensely.

The Rays, Blue Jays and Oriels have the disadvantage of being in the AL East, with the Red Sox and Yankees. That said, go Red Sox....

Vegas? No way. Attendance would be fine if there was a better product on the field. The city itself is poorly run and has all sorts or problems now, but Camden Yards (and the Inner Harbor) is a great place to see a ball game and there is a baseball tradition in Baltimore (birthplace of Babe Ruth) that needs to be considered.
The abysmal performance this year was not Showalter’s fault. Ownership needs to change but that is not likely anytime soon.
