I’m guilty of being down on this organization and posting mainly negative comments. However, Paul Skenes and Bubba Chandler have a chance to be a dynamic duo like the MLB hasn’t seen since Ryan/Richard? Koufax/Drysdale? Spahn/Sain (and pray for rain)?
I’m probably overstating how good this duo will be, but what if I’m not?
Being down on this organization and how it is being run currently is positive, and meant to bring about change. This team is on the doorstep and with a few changes such as a new Manager who demands:
1. Attention to detail and a whole new attitude change, and
2. A new approach to hitting and holding people accountable for putting the ball in play.
It is all coming together and all we need is for the decision-makers to make an obvious decision rather than drag out this BS regarding Derek Shelton. We need a Manager right now being able to plan for 2025 and it is not Derek Shelton.
Difference is that each of the combos you mentioned above were supported by decent rosters with multiple all-stars and even some HoFers.
So I'll say Seaver/Koosman. Jones can be Gary Gentry, Ortiz can be Nolan Ryan and Falter can be Don Cardwell. The Mets offense sucked. But they did have strong up the middle defense and a good bullpen. It's possible Bucs might have both those next year.
There are no perfect matches. Falter certainly isn't Koos, but is the only LHP. I'm just plugging in names. If you feel you have to switch Jones and Ortiz or whatever, feel free. Keep in mind Ryan wasn't yet the Ryan Express back in '69 (9.27 K/9)

Christ Scott, you’re gonna give me a coronary with those comparisons. But what the hell, I’ll hope for that!

sums up well why BC stays and Shelton goes
For the life of me, I have no idea why BC has earned the right to hire another Manager.

The Miracle Pirates?
Ortiz as Nolan Ryan…you’re kidding right.

Shocked Nola didnt drop in a sean sullivan endorsement
Well, we’re still gonna pick a breakout player, so there’s still hope.
Anthony threatened me.
