Joe won't be back next season. Will we see him through the remainder of the season? Serious question.
Now we wait for CyJack to tell us how we lost because we don’t have a good farm system.
Don’t worry, already got the belt out and I’m bending over

I agree he won’t be back, regardless of how the season turns out.
That being said, of course he’ll finish the season. We’re, at worst one game out of first
It's as if you can draw up a script of everything that has to happen for us to lose, as improbable as it may seem, and our guys play it out that way every time. Walks, hit batters, late home runs, missed opportunities to drive in runs earlier in the game.....you can go on and on. And in my opinion, that points directly back to Maddon and his staff. It's not one thing, it's many.
One game back in a terribly mediocre division. I'm not convinced it will be about standings as much as it will be a front office judgment call based on where they think we should be, and whether or not they think an accelerated firing will spark a late run.
Joe with the quick hook on Kyle Ryan tonight, but leaves Kintzler in fresh off the IL. Makes sense.
Hell the way Phelps threw the ball, why not let him go a second inning?

This is just a tough loss, the lack of farm system is going to get them in the coming years.
Meanwhile our entire bullpen's confidence is shot with the exception of Phelps, who hasn't been here long enough to be influenced by this crap. BTW, I'd like to have seen them stay with him to finish the game. Why the heck not, Joe?

Theo needs more scapegoats so Joe will def be gone. Replaced by somebody who will run out whatever lineup the front office wants.
Hey, we might get a better draft pick this year if we continue to play like this. There's bound to be more KB's out there, right?
