I agree. And look, it was only a 1-year extension. It's not like we couldn't can him at the end of the season anyway. I personally hope we do. Fredi has earned the criticism based on past performance, for sure. I just find it hard to blame him when we're putting a team on the field every night that has maybe 2-3 players a majority of the other 29 teams in MLB would like to have. Combine that with a young rotation that's struggling, you get what we're seeing since July.
