They are covering it, but downplaying it. They are not acknowledging the problem the way that Keith Law did in that quote I gave.

They aren't covering it the way I think they should because I think they need to acknowledge it being more than most clubs.

Why are you so concerned about me wanting the media to do a better job? Why, of all the things posted on this board over the past few days, is that one of the few things you chose to discuss/complain about?

Honestly? Your tinfoil hat routine about the franchise is the only thing I find remotely interesting or entertaining about your posts. I already know how you feel about the front office and the ownership, but since you brought up the local media's role in your conspiracy theory, I figured I'd ask how deep the rabbit hole went.

Lol. You are really funny.

It is not just my posts you don't reply to. I would just as soon you never replied because you are just looking to complain about other folks opinion anyway.

At least folks are complaining about the team. Almost every one of your posts are complaints about someone else's posts. You hardly ever bring anything fresh as far as the team or the front office or MLB in general goes. You almost exclusively post about how much you don't like someone else's opinion. You are more negative than just about anyone else on here. It's just that your negativity is directed toward other posters and not the team or the front office.

It is interesting that they had Alexy at 21 but they didn't have Kyle Cody at all.

Well, I never read local reporters coverage of other teams, so I wouldn't know about that.

We did have Galloway who thrived in this market. Engle is a little harder hitting, but he doesn't cover them on a regular basis.

You mentioned Fraley earlier, but he didn't exactly push back. He was one of the only ones to report about what the scouts said about Fielder though. Had it not been for him, that story would still be covered up.


Here is the podcast referenced.


I do follow quite a few of the other baseball reporters on Twitter but none are too controversial. Drellich is a little edgy.

The podcast guys says it is a new age of reporting right or wrong

I think that is the one Scott Lucas is usually on.

Right. He is in Surprise. They talked about how more creative marketing is needed in MLB. The minors are a lot more savvy. Also about the new age of journalism.

saddles brings a lot of content to this board.

stuff that I’m too lazy to look up.

it’s easy to overlook his hatred for the front office when you consider all of the updates he brings in.

I guess twitter links and telling everyone they are wrong technically counts as content. You've got me there.

huge damn mistake.

I would’ve tried hard to resign this guy. He carried us through some games.
We will have another chance in about 8 months.
