At the same time, he's a Dodger fan and understandably upset... The last thing he, or this board needs are Houston fans coming to tell him he's out of line... Tread lightly.

Wasn't trying to come off the wrong way. Actually I was just trying to help to make him feel better. Typed a bunch of stuff about thinking about the people suffer from Harvey and see this as a reward to those guys (again, in good attention trying to make him feel better).
Not a huge baseball fan anyway, just came here to see what are the reactions. He is upset and understandably so.
Peace out.

and I didn't say a word about Houston and its hurricane victims. in fact, go back to my past posts, i have stated repeatedly of my condolences of the unfortunate situation of the Houstonians. this was strictly about baseball.
so stop. just stop.

We literally lost this series because of 3 blowup starts by frail October pitchers.
Think about that.
3 out if their 4 wins are from 2 frail October pitchers with blow up starts.
They almost didn’t even earn the **** when you think of it that way,
Im tired of heartache. If I have to take a dip and miss the postseason (not get my heart broken) in order to get my ring, fine.

then like I said before on trade thread, package Kershaw with Gonzo and Grandal and get some real value back while lowering our payroll, and sign Otani for some whatever the under the table deal to assure our rotation. Urias and Buehler should be ready too.
Yes.
I’m not riding with Kershaw until the wheels fall off. IDGAF about him finishing his career here. He hasn’t brought me anything but heartache. Anything but another opportunity to give my Giant fan friends excuses for why the job was not complete.
On to year 30.
Brb, 98% of the fan base still gonna be starry eyed and say they’d rather try to win with this fraud than do what we know we have to do.
Edit:
And I mean trade him this winter...not wait until he is FA n let him walk. Trade. Now.

I +1'd your post because I agree with everything you said, but I want to make sure you meant managerial change instead of GM change. The front office cannot be faulted for the moves it made outside of maybe campaigning for the likes of Pedro Baez and not taking bullets away from Roberts to keep him from shooting himself in the foot.
I actually mentioned previously either in this thread or another one ("Around the MLB"?) that I considered Dave Martinez to be Dave Roberts's replacement. I favored Martinez early when Mattingly was fired and he's a great hire for the Nationals. Martinez sounds a lot like A.J. Hinch, who is well-versed in analytics but won't ignore employing the feel of the game in his game calling.

The only part I have to possibly defend Roberts on is the players' over-aggressive swings. Even as I was critical of Roberts for this myself before, I've heard him preaching to his players to continue to be patient at the plate and aggressively jumping on pitches in the zone. The failures of Bellinger, Seager, and Turner rests on those players themselves.
I will, however, continue to question why Bellinger wasn't moved down in the order to emphasize his message since Roberts continually praised him and stated that he believed in him and his approach. Likewise, I wonder why Turner and Seager didn't swap spots in the order since Turner was killing it in the #2 hole in the lineup, but given JT's recent struggles, even that may not have helped him. You never know, though.
