Yes.

Uh, they needed to make a change.

And, and they got...

This was almost a Kansas City Chiefs situation.

They got a great guy, a great manager.

I think this is...

The best manager in baseball, without any question, is Francona.

Yep.

manager.

He is a gifted generational manager.

All right, the Phillies tried to hire him already.

They'll probably try to go back and hire him again.

The Mets should have already made their move on Cora.

If he didn't want to come for a month or he didn't want to come until next year, they still should have locked him up and then put an interim in.

I have nothing against Mendoza.

Just back to the draft for a second, what'd you make of Harbaugh's first draft as the Giants head coach?

Yes.

Uh, they needed to make a change.

A- and they got...

How? Why?

Silly.

And again, you cannot chastise him when his career is over, okay? The...

He should have been suspended when these things happened.

He wasn't.

He wasn't, okay? Kraft made sure it didn't happen.

He made sure the commission didn't suspend him.

But to take it out on him now makes the institution and the voters angry.

So I'm curious your thoughts there.

Pete Alonzo knew the entire year that the Mets were never going past three years.

They knew the – Stearns has made that abundantly clear.

Anybody around the Mets knew it.

He was never, ever, not last year, this year, ever given Pete a contract past three years.

He didn't believe in him long term.

He thought he was going to age badly.

So I am wondering, do you like where we're at, Mike, with the 12-team playoff, having a selection

I wanted to ask you going into the game, kind of what was the beat on this team from the fans? Like, did they think they really had something right now in this sort of dart and scataboo combination? And can't you just look at it as a kicker makes a couple extra points? And this is, you know, we're riding this wave right here.

I think the Giant fans have been swept up in the optimism led by Dalton Scadabo, but I think they still need to have more victories, more success to wash away this cycle.

But I can tell you right now today, the cycle's over.

The cycle, this is a terrible loss.

They were not going to be a playoff team this year.

That's not what this year was about.

There's too many tough teams on the schedule.

Has he saved Joe Shane's as well?

Last week, when Aaron Glenn decided to go for it on fourth down before the half, but then just run the clock out after that, just makes me wonder, like, do they have the same goals? Are they trying to have Aaron Glenn go 0-17 to get a quarterback? Because it was just mind-boggling.
