I agree tbh. It usually seems like a bad idea to pay big money for relievers
Don’t see anything noteworthy here…
Yeah Scott we get your idea about it, but your idea sucks. Players are cut not because they’re too good, but because they aren’t worth keeping.

ahh there’s the scott harris we know and love
The key to that statement is sometimes. Notice he didn’t say all the time.

Throw them against the wall and see who sticks, Scott. Get ready for the Gong Show in the bullpen again.
“We’re gonna sign guys who other teams don’t think belong on MLB rosters.”
That’s basically a nothing quote, but it’s certainly provocative. It gets the people going.
Jzuz. Harris is basically the CEO of Priority Waste Management.
So is it a talent evaluation problem on your end then?
Sometimes. You don’t use it as the main strategy on a team about to lose their window
hahah people really think this team is actually going to spend
It’s like Sex Panther cologne… 60% of the time, it works every time.
god sometimes I wonder how good we could do if we were a big boy
Sometimes but not everytime
The Braves won a World Series in 2021, their strength was their bullpen, and it was pretty much built this way. A good GM and a good pitching program can absolutely build a strong pen this way.

Sometimes you’ll find someone at the dollar store

Every time I read a quote by Scott Harris, it sounds like a word salad and nothing more.
Thanks Scott. Last year tempered my expectations down to the bone. I don’t really have any hope for this off season either.
sometimes?
It finally dawned on me that we’re going nowhere as long as Scott Harris is running the show. I’m a slow learner, apparently.
Bro.. just shut up and sign Skubal long term
Just make sure they are old and broke. Stay true to yourself. The Scottie way.
