you think this was the right call to move on from farhan zaidi? >> alex. heather, thanks for having me. and yeah, it was just time. you know, farhan gave a lot of reasons to have belief in him and to be patient with him. but unfortunately, sports waits for no one and the plan just didn't seem to be coming together over the course of several seasons. like you said, three years in a row, they were unable to make the playoffs. i know bill was just talking about the temperature. 107 107 wins was the apex of the farhan era. unfortunately, it was the outlier number. it wouldn't become the new norm. and when you look at the team as it's constructed, when you look at the farm system as it's constructed, and then when you just look at the bare bones question of how entertaining have the giants been recently? i think that there was a reason to move on. and buster posey is obviously someone who giants fans will have an incredible amount of loyalty to and patience with. and i think buster is enough of a baseball guy to understand that it's time to hit a reset button.
