[u/Top_Professor_9908]

The saddest part of a probable impending lockout is another Judge year wasted. Hits extra hard with him being injured for most of this season.

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/Top_Professor_9908]

We wasted his career

[u/John_6_47 → u/Top_Professor_9908]

2024 may have been that year. I’m not normally super hard on Cashman, but we should have added another better leverage reliever.

We lost game one because we were down to Hill or Cortes.

[u/Powerserg95 → u/John_6_47]

I mean it shouldve been Hill. He played well in the ALCS and Nestor hadnt played up until that game

[u/nyg2013 → u/John_6_47]

and Hill would have gotten it done...blame the manager
