Servais Out

I know @Duders posted this already, but I didn't want it to get lost in a game thread. Firing him doesn't do a thing. The true test is who they replace him with. If it is a first time manager or a retread non-winning manager, we know nothing has/will change. If they get a proven guy that takes no shit from upper management, then we will start to change this environment.

Not sure if you all stayed awake during another yawner yesterday when Blowers was talking about Lou's first year. He said Lou didn't come in to change the team he came in to change the organization. He wanted to root out the losing atmosphere. He tried winning spring training games to set a winning attitude and when they couldn't win those he pulled the bus over where a little league game was being played and told the player you guys couldn't beat them. Then when a couple vets were enjoying a buffet after another loss he walked over and turned over the table of food. That is what we need. It won't happen, but is needed.

With Dan Wilson at the helm, the new closer walkout music's gotta be

Worst move possible. They are doing the Haniger thing here. I don't want a lovable guy I want a real manager.

i AM SO DAMN HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

A classic Dipoto move

Honestly this does nothing for me. It is like replacing France with Turner. 'Squirrel' move.

HalleFuckinLujah!

I know it's not going to be enough, so I consider this Phase One.

Watch him go somewhere else, win a WS and multiple MotY awards…. Just because Bob Melvin did it.

In all seriousness, good riddance! This is a move that needed to happen but it actually does nothing for me. This team has made me numb.

Now my assessment is based on Wilson being the next full-time manager and not interim manager. I could care less who finishes this wasted season.

“Oh my god!! Ticket sales for the last month of the season are declining! Push that defcon button now! Who can we look to from the past to reel these money spenders back in?! Oh! Dan the Man it is! 1995!!!! Whooooooo!!”

Just the fact that Scotty boy is not driving me crazy anymore is worth it for me. It's about time someone got off their dead ass and did something about Servais.

Or you can put them on ignore like I’ve been doing and you’ll won’t go crazy.

I wonder how many players still pissed about Servais making Raleigh take back his words when he spoke out last year and spoke the truth?

I’m happy that Wilson is finally having an opportunity to be a manager, but I think this is a 2025 thing. It’s been a long time coming and he definitely has what it takes to be a manager. He was easily one of the best and a smart catcher at the time he played. The last month of the season will be important on how the players respond to him and build for next season.

I think one of his better hurdles while becoming a manager here is NOT become a yes man.

It definitely doesn't fix this team, but Servais was an issue, so firing him does mean there's one less problem. Still a lot to be done of course, but getting rid of Servais was years overdue.

Imagine that! Who wouldn’t think that criticizing players and throwing them under the bus for telling the truth has consequences in how they would respond. The fact that this team had a 10 game division lead and is currently sitting at .500 is a miracle. But everything has to come full circle.
