@IYKbaseball “Mouth closed” … you’re telling on yourself, man

There’s a good chance he’s the best CF in the org right now. Outman and Vierling have sub-.600 OPS…

Why does Max have to shut anything?

@riger1984 I’ve never understood the Harris naysayers.

Farm and player development in the best shape since the ‘70s.

Team arrived early/overachieved in ‘24 and ‘25, now fan base is impatient/delusional…

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@DanielGrizz @Mich_Trumbull Two years in a row making the playoffs and winning a playoff series, possibly trending toward a third. With Dingler, McGonigle, Hao-Yu, Montero, Melton, Jobe and more on the way. Peep the decade prior, Daniel.

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@papatigermike @Mich_Trumbull You're right, man! We should crowdsource Harris' job to 97.1 hosts and callers. We'd be a juggernaut!

@TonyWolak @FlyingOctoPod Too many former players, many of whom aren't college educated.

Look at success of Scott Harris regime--analytically forward, highly educated, also in Ilitch empire.

Look at how the NHL is trending--Eric Tulsky, Sunny Mehta, etc.

This list has too many unserious candidates.

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@BrianFisherLORW Yeah, Walman's true ability/value is besides the point.

SY was forced to attach draft capital to unload a player the Sharks then got a first for.

And the entire charade epitomized the directionless nature of the SY era.

@Alexfeinberg @NoahRyanCo Isn't it a little weird to at least outwardly appear successful but spend so much time on X braying about liberals? A little off or nah?

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@eric_seufert @theplanisyourf1 More likely, his experience is in lock step with that broad, systemic shift.

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@eric_seufert Or... every claim made in his thread largely checks out, and if you've spent any time running Google Ads for yourself or for clients over the years, you've experienced it and felt the pain and the frustration, and at times, exhaustion with it.

@GetYourPhill56 I’m just here for the ratio…

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@Josh_faize AI slop garbage

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@HostileCowboy @espn 💯

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@DETBaseball The fan base has no clue how good they have it with Harris and the front office he's put together. Clueless. In fact, it stands to reason Chris Ilitch will try to emulate this model with the Red Wings.

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@WingRaider Not saying he couldn’t be part of the braintrust, but another non-college-educated former player leading the operation? No thanks.

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@TheHockeyNews Dreadful list.

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@IYKbaseball We should fire Harris and crowdsource the GM role to 97.1 callers and the “akshually” crowd on X. We’d have a pennant winner in no time!

[Skeeter Barnes @cheapballplayer]

@Trentlpbg @DaveBondyTV huh?
