I'm confused. You complain about players trying to hit homeruns and then you are critical of Ketel not hitting homeruns?
You do realize that last year was and still is an outlier for Ketel right?
Odds are astronomically high that Torey will still be in place when the 2021 season starts so I would suggest while you are hoping for a different outcome that you start preparing yourself for what is likely coming. Even so, you want the guy who thought Torey was the right choice in the first place to make the decision again?
I mentioned the quote about Ketel hitting only two HR's so far, but my main concern
was about his being second in RBI's last season and having to adapt to the leadoff
role this season. Based on last season, he is best suited for the heart of the order.
I am not against players hitting HR's. I am against them making "lift" their go-to
swing on every pitch. As I have posted, I would like to see line drives to left-
canter or right-center as their go-to swing.
And, as I've also posted, if they get a pitch they think they can "lift" for a HR,
go for it, if it best serves the situation. Including when we need a sac fly.
As far as the GM, no, I think he should be let go with Lovullo. Choose an
experienced GM and let him choose the next Manager. And hope that
Sarver (continues to keep hands-off and) lets them do their jobs.
