I just lost a long piece I wrote on the Zoom conference with new manager Will Venable and GM Chris Getz, somehow with no way of recovering on this platform. That’s a first. So you’re going to get a truncated version.
Broadly, the decision to make this known announcement (since at least late Tuesday and surely in Getz’s mind longer) a half-hour zoom with about a dozen questions asked by about 10 people is very strange. There will be an unveiling of Venable as manager on November 8 with the jersey photo op and full dog-and-pony show, at the park, but why not now?
