I haven't watched any of the games. Said I'd stop watching in the offseason if Guillermo was brought back, and here we are. I just watch highlights and follow along in Gameday/radio for the most part.
Guillermo must have compromising evidence of some wrongdoing of this FO. No other way to put it. I was shocked to hear he was coming back this season.
Not sure why everyone blames Giuellermo. He didn’t let go of Semien, Teo, Lourdes. Wasn’t Guillermo the hitting coach in 2021 when we had offensive talent that was near the top of the league?
Vlad and Bo - two generational hitting prospects that are in their prime - have only gotten worse under Guillermo, to the point they have both started the year below replacement level. Kirk, a guy who has been a great hitter at every level and also in his prime, is even worse. Why is it that often our best hitters are vets that just arrived to the organization, such as Belt last year and Turner this year? How many hitters have improved during Guillermo's reign of terror? None come immediately to mind. I'm sure there must be some, but it's got to be a very short list.
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."
