FFFFFFFUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!
Diamondback management (this means you Josh Byrners) are f-ing retarded and fired Bob Melvin, Rick Schu and Brian Price yesterday after losing to the Padres and hired VP of minor league player development AJ Hinch (whom I never previously heard of, apparently he played 8 whole MLB seasons) as his replacement.
Why?
There was nothing wrong with what Melvin and Price were doing, it was just a rough patch, Melvin did what he thought would win us game by changing lineups, starting different guys at different positions on different days. Price did quite a good job with a bullpen that wasn't all that stellar and the results were fairly good.
If anybody deserved to get fired it was Rick Schu because all the hitters seemed to be swinging through pitches that they weren't even chasing in the past which equals Mark Reynolds being on pace to break his own strikeout record and having the worst team average in the majors.
I don't like the choice of new manager AJ Finch, nothing personal against him but I barely know who he is and his 0 experience of coaching or managing anywhere scares the **** out of me because he's being thrown into a trial by fire. If it were up to me, and the fans, Chip Hale would've been named manager today, he has tons of experience managing in the minors, he knows his players and he has a better idea of how to fix things than anybody else Josh Byrnes would've hired. (because he's an f-ing fool)
I won't say anymore about the move until after this weekend's series against the Nationals is over.
