I just talked to Rob and he said it bothered him a little bit in the start in San Francisco and then in his last start in New York. At that point he talked to (pitching coach Rich Dubee) about it.

ability couple criticize easier eight fans finish last needs people rights sidelines standing supportive understand
I understand the rights of people to have the ability to criticize what we do, ... At the same time, we have a lot of fans out there who were very supportive of what we've done here over the last eight years, particularly what we've done over the last couple of years to try to get to the finish line. And I also think it needs to be said that for eight years, I've been a doer, and not a critic. Because sometimes standing up and doing things is a lot easier that people standing on the sidelines and criticizing what you do.

question season ultimately
There's no question that's ultimately how you're judged, by how you do in the season and how you do in the playoffs. By that measure, we didn't get there.

That?s usually how it goes (at this time of year). I think a lot of deadlines have passed us by.

It figures to be a slower-developing market just from the standpoint that if a player and his representatives feel that he's the key in the market, they're going to want to make sure the last dollar's on the table and that teams have exhausted other avenues to try to improve.
based became criticism decision easier fact lightning move obviously order perception performance public rod role talk
I think public perception is a big part when you talk about selling. In order to move things forward, if the decision was based on the performance of the club, obviously not getting into the postseason is a big role in that, but I also think the fact that I became a lightning rod for criticism for the organization, with me out of the picture, it makes things easier from that respect.
