Would love for one local reporter to call out how bad Mo's trades and rosters have been the past two years.

But the PD has a big "Win Now" full page baseball preview... lol

Mozeliak has earned some good publicity for the Goldschmidt trade/entension, and Miller signing. The “win now” mantra has been said repeatedly and I understand they have set themselves up to win in the present. I know Goold has suggested this roster could be shuffled after the season, if it doesn’t go as planned, and I kind of hope that’s the case. Missing the playoffs for a fourth straight season should signal the front office it’s time to make some tough decisions.

Would be nice to have Mo's seat hot for once. We've been needing a change beyond Matheny.

Right now we have the highest paid OFer being the worst option. We have one reliable starting pitcher who played in Japan just two years ago. We have one starter playing out of position in the infield. We have one lefty in the pen (Webb has an .800 OPS-against vs. lefties so I am not counting on much from him). We have busted up, trending-the-wrong-way-in-meaningful-pitching stats Wainwright taking up the 4th SP spot. We have a weaksauce bench. Our cleanup guy has a busted shoulder. Pham/Grichuk/Piscotty all given away for free. Signing broken reliever after broken reliever. Kimbrel and Keuchel just sitting there...

flaherty dressing like a banker from the 30s... or a henchman from the 30s
miles looks awkwardly dapper
goldschmidt turns his head...don't think he wants evidence of that jacket

I feel like Goldschmidt should be wearing gold blazers all the time when he's not in uniform.

Spring Training is over. Lock this [expletive]
