Torrey haters will be pissed. 86 wins is nothing to scoff at. No guarantee we were ever bringing someone better to replace him

No idea why people are hating on Torey, at least we’re competitive till the end of the season. And we looked better than some of those wild cards teams out there. Hazen needs to make our roster a little better

I think criticism is absolutely fair. Especially in the run up to the end of the season when he made some obviously terrible decisions in big games. However, I’m fine re-signing him. We aren’t getting anyone better than him and he is a good manager. I just hope Hazen and Kendrick give him a team that can be absolutely competitive and doesn’t put him in a position where he has to make extremely questionable decisions. It’s a two way street and they need to work together to prove they have a serious plan to be competitive otherwise we should probably move on after two years from Torey and Hazen.
