Sports are always “what have you done for me lately”. But I certainly haven’t forgotten 2021. It was amazing. It also was led by the “core” of Posey, Crawford Belt. One of the great parts of that season were those 3 shutting up people that said they were done.
It also wasn’t sustainable. Which I said repeatedly. They lost Posey. Crawford and Belt were bound to regress and to have the kind of good fortune they had in ‘21 was not likely to return.
If after ‘23 they have another year where they are out of the race by Mid August; have not had at least a couple prospects (Harrison and Schmidt being the most likely candidates) make the Show; and the farm system is still
considered a bottom tier system (I’ve seen it ranked by several at 18-20), then I suspect Zaidi will be on thin ice.

Oh, but for a checked swing call. . . .
Worse was the Bryant AB. Fourth inning. Urias just in and hasn’t found it yet. Lead off hitter gets on. Bryant has two pitches called strikes that were well out of the zone. Otherwise he walks. 1st and 2nd no outs. Instead he struck out on a 3-2 pitch, that was really 5-1.
