DFA ZIEGLER

Featured Replies

I don't want to hear shit about the error.  He should have never loaded the bases.  He sucks.  He has to go. No fucking point having him on this roster.

 

 

Its been enough for a while but is now really enough? Jose pitches well, the bullpen does its work for this garbage? Way to boost morale of a young team. Intentionally put them in a position not to win. 

 

 

who was playing first?

 

When will they just get rid of Ziegler already? It’s pretty clear he doesn’t have much left - and certainly won’t be a piece a contender wants to acquire with how terrible he’s been. I was all for the idea of giving Tazawa and Ziegler a chance to go out there and become trade pieces for us, but it’s obvious that won’t happen (Tazawa is obviously already gone). Just get rid of him already. How demoralizing is it for the team to be in a position to win one of the few games they’ll win this year, only for him to cough it up again. You could see it on JT’s face.

 

 

I have nothing but contempt for this team because as bad as they are there is no commitment to even trying to win. Continually running out a very hittable washed up pathetic Ziegler in the 9th tells me.all I need to know that this team doesn’t give a shit.

 

 

The real shame is that this young team could easily be 4 or 5 games better at this point and have a shot at at least a decent record for a young and rebuilding team.

trotting ziegler out in the 9th now is pointless... give a kid/prospect some experience

 

not respecting the process right now

 

 

I know the front office got their reasons to keep Ziegler in the team and in the role of closer,and I also understand the number of wins in this season didn't matter to them,but I think it's much mattered to these young players in this team because every winning game would only increase their confidence in their mind.

That's just it...intentional. I am starting to think ownership is trying to find ways to lose so they get a better pick. I hope it is not at the expense of the confidence of our young players. The fact that they are still throwing Ziegler out there tells me there has to be more than meets the eye.

Lol ok

In no way is it intentional. Please breathe. 

 

The fact that they already got rid of Tazawa tells me otherwise.

 

Ziegler won't be there much longer either. There's not more than meets the eye. Ziegler is a high paid veteran so they're giving him plenty of chances to right the ship and if he doesn't then he'll be cut sooner than later just like Tazawa was. That's all that's going on here. Nothing more, nothing less. 

 

They're not trying to lose.

Agreed, they need to experience some wins and it is demoralizing to blow leads consistently.

If they wanted to lose on purpose, it is an easy thing to do. They aren't trying to lose.

Great post. Logical thoughts. Common sense. Thank you! You're learning man! There is hope for you after all! 

 

 

The next time anyone wants to complain that we don't spend enough in free agency just remember Ziegler and Tazawa. 

 

Spending just to spend, spending just to increase payroll, and spending to pretend we're a competitive team doesn't always work. 

 

Sadly we need to be reminded of this too often.

Huh? Higher the payroll, the more rings baby!

 

 

Just think of all the adversity that the Marlins faced as the Padres celebrated the walk off and how it will make the Marlins better
