Assumption on my part. Clearly no idea how your pay structure works but I'd think if it drags on, people are annoyed with it all, less games, etc would have some impact?

Good thing there is always "next year."

You know what Mr Gigem does for a living, don't you?

Considering he mentions his pay structure... probably.
The fact he was pushing back on Mr Gigem's comment led me to wonder.
Diaz pinch hit home run!
I'm not pushing back on anything nor trying to be a jerk. I know he's in ticket sales and sincerely hope the organization doesn't screw those employees if they're mostly commission based. I don't have any idea how it works.
What a crappy sports weekend

You just have to look harder. Women's volleyball and tennis are pretty good options. Some HS football teams can be good (but, it's weird if your kids don't go to that school). Other than that, hope for the Stars to have another good season.
Corey home run!
How fitting that Seager will be the final out of the season.
(Or not)
(Or not)
Kind of relieved it's over. It's been so hard to back and forth all year.
Hello Offseason!
80-82!
80-82!
Well, the fat lady has sung. Time for the off-season.
Double Talkin' Jive...
Lame
And just like that... you guys have given up on the Rangers, yet again. Just wait... they'll draw you back it.
It isn't over until we're told it is over by a certain poster.

I loved playing VBall in my younger years and always loved watching Aggie VBall, including last year.
But, I agree it'd be a little creepy showing up to a HS football game with my kids grown. Sure, the HS football players I went to school with still show up to our HS games with their Letter jackets...
I think I'm going to focus getting a new job. Told my boss last week that despite the great pay, if my counter part is still around in November... I'll have to decide whether it is worth my time to stay at the company.
If we had played even just two or three games against two of the worst teams in baseball, these last two series wouldn't have mattered. And I think that's what makes the way the season ended feel even worse.
Oh well. I'll give myself the rest of the day to feel bad and then put it in the rearview tomorrow.

This.
We lose 9 of 13 against the team we finish a game behind.
That alone is why we are stuck on the outside.
Houston could play the win this game, win that game thing too …. this team never deserved to be in the playoffs.
The Rangers force DFW to eat a full decade of dog**** outside of one lucky season. It's completely unacceptable but nobody in the franchise will do anything about it. The stay positive and always support your team culture must go. Evan tried really hard the other day to write mean words about Degrom but it was halfhearted. It laughably came right after a positive spin article about Skip.
Media won't go scorched earth, fans won't do an Arkansas boycott, so we are stuck with this indefinitely.
There is zero accountability for the front office, the players, or the scouting /player development program. To say it plainly, nobody cares.

Everyone makes money even if they lose
SEA has fired Dan Wilson after just two full seasons.
Looks like they are serious about trying to win.

Houston did. And they fired their GM and Manager.
And they actually made the playoffs.
Skip is just not a good Manager. We'll be playing the late season "what if" game as long as he is the manager.
Teague offers no help. It was mid-season before his mound visits didn't result in catastrophic results with the batter.

There never has been because the media here only cares about the Cowboys and Mavs. The Rangers are just treated as the third team in the market. It's always been this way; too. Years ago, the Rangers had Jon Hart as their GM and in his wisdom, he signed free agents with no-trades. Shockingly, we would be 20+ games out and nobody would waive that no trade. It turns out that the players enjoy the no state income tax, golf anytime you want, no media scrutiny that the Rangers provide. Fast forward to this year and it's exactly what I thought of when DeGrom turned down a trade to go to the freaking first place Braves to stay here. No real competitor would ever turn down that chance. But here we are.
I'm not sure DeGrom would have passed a physical anyway, so that would be trade might be a moot point

I think that's a huge mistake.
I don't disagree but going from 90 wins and the ALCS to just 76 wins and a 3rd place finish in a dog**** division, I can understand the front office looking at a change. They have offered him a job within the organization.
Sure, the next guy could be worse but I respect an organization believing they can do better.

I don't follow close enough to know about the job within the organization. Maybe it was mutual, but interview quotes from the players make it sound like a 100% firing.
Wilson had them within a few outs away from world series last year. He's a proven winner. Seattle cannot expect to do better than the ALCS. I don't get this one at all.
I think Wilson deserved another year, but he's far from a proven winner. He's had one good year and one bad year.
I think it's pretty clear that many felt he wasn't ready to be in the driver's seat when he got the job and it was very much a "well you can't fire him after 2025". I'd bet he wasn't doing a lot of the "managerial" stuff, but was a really good guy.

I don't think it was mutual, he was definitely fired. But he's in the club's hall of fame and has been with the organization for nearly 30 years, I think they feel obligated to keep him around (if he wants to be)
So, what ho will start the offseason thread? Just asking as I fully want this season wiped.
Anybody with DMN subscription read Evan's article this morning? No need to post premium content, just wondering how tough he was after calling out Seager and DeGrom in the headline.
I feel like NYT and Boston Globe would be much harder on the NYY or BOS in this scenario.
This should be a boiling point moment for the franchise, the fanbase, Twitter trolls, etc. Maybe they reserved a Family Day at Six Flags instead of ****canning everybody in eyesight.
I almost root for an emotional, irrational reaction by ownership, just so we know they have a pulse.

CY should have all responsibility stripped except finding SP and swing P. He is terrible signing/trading RPs and all positions... and managers... except Bochy... for 1 season... errr... 1 post-season.
This was a team that was picked to finish 3rd in the division. They finished 80-82, in 2nd place.
I get being upset about the roster construction and development, but I guess I just don't see any blatant malpractice this year like you saw in the truly bad years.
We should've spent about $20MM more to shore some things up and cast off your Burgers and Pedersons, but for the most part the team failed this year because guys you were counting on had massive dips (Seager, Langford, deGrom), not because the roster was mis-managed or mis-constructed.
If Langford, Seager and deGrom give you what they did just last year, that +6.2 WAR and a 86-76 team that is the #2 seed.
And the latter two aren't your Adolis-Garcia-esque or Jonah Heim type players that had career years last year. They had production well within their historical norms. And Wyatt was our #1 draft pick that most still think will be a very good player so in no world were you going to start the season without him in the lineup.

Man, I get all of the elements, the retrospective stuff. But this is about 9 out of 10 years being a failing franchise. There is a big picture problem that runs deep and needs a nuclear event. I don't think a few million or roster tweaks gets us there. We have entered Pirates / Rockies territory in terms of futility.
