Better clean house. I'm fine with everyone going except the hitting program. Better too many than not enough.

I do think several changes are coming. Maybe not enough for some, but I think there will be a positive impact if they get the right people in. The hitting program most definitely stays.

Get rid of Dozier and O'Hearn! There is probably not another team in baseball that would continue playing these two. They have proven over and over, they are not MLB players, they are AAA players wearing a MLB uniform and taking up a spot meant for someone that has an upside. It is so frustrating seeing Dozier getting so much playing time and yet he is so bad in the field and at the plate. Get rid of Mike Matheny. He plays favorites too much of the time, not the fan's favorites, his own favorites. It is past time for major changes in the overall structure of this franchise. Please Mr. Sherman, do the right thing. Fire the lot of them.

Several coaching changes will happen. Although a new manager will have his own favorites that I’m sure will stir up the fan base. Still...too much Dozier.

Until they remove O'Hearn from the spreadsheet nothing they do will make sense. He is probably a nice guy and people dumping on him sucks ...but its a job and not a hobby. The issue could be that in keeping him in the dugout it removes one more person that could be playing and therefore makes the spreadsheet manageable.

I get the O’Hearn angst, but he’s made just nine starts in the second half. He’s pacing for his fewest PAs in a non-2020 season. I think you hit it on the head: A left-handed bench bat is going to keep that spreadsheet just a little less complicated. Somebody has to be the 26th man.
