2041.02 Wichita signs new pitching coach

Post by felipe » Sun Dec 15, 2019 1:13 pm

Zach Bauer, assistant to the Wichita Genius, GM Hopkins, pokes his head into the door of the Genius' office.

"Hey Genius, you were right, once Bryan Walden, heard that Forga had gone to Albuquerque with his teenage girls, Walden decided to do the same with his girls. He's gone."

"Excellent," the Genius sat at his desk and tented his fingers," No problem with Bun Bun agreeing to go to Single A?"

"You kidding me?" grinned Bauer," He couldn't wait."

"No problems with Cloughie?"

"Nah," grinned Bauer," He understood the shit season they had last year...I think he was happy for a change of scenery."

"Excellent ZB," grinned the Genius," Looks like you took care of most of our personnel moves."

"Yeah," grinned Bauer," I think I could get used to this subtle manipulation thing."

"About that Bauer, how can I put this delicately?"

"What's that boss?" asked Bauer gingerly.

"How do you feel about the talent that we've placed on the field the past six seasons?"

"The talent boss?...Why, its been fantastic!" gushed Bauer," There is absolutely no reason that Forga and Walden shouldn't have done better with those guys! That was a playoff team! Especially the last two seasons!"

"Our pitching staff was that good?"

"Oh yeah boss, Walden just mishandled them, he was just too inexperienced. He didn't hold them accountable enough for their performances."

"I'm glad to hear you say that," grinned the Genius," I thought it was a pretty good staff too."

"Fantastic staff boss!"

"I'm happy to hear that," grinned the Genius," They're yours now."

"You want me to manage? On-field management? I'm a GM. I'm assistant to you! I'm not a field guy!"

"No, not manage," grinned the Genius," I agree. That's not really your thing."

'Whew...you know that I'm a behind the scenes kind of guy."

"I agree...and I can't think of any position more behind the scenes than a pitching coach."

"Pitching coach! I'm a freakin executive...not a low level management peon."

"You were an executive...well, technically an assistant to the executive..."

"Pitching coach!" explodes Bauer.

The Genius reaches under his desk and pulls out a gleaming machete. He lightly draws his finger alongside the edge. "Sharp." he comments.

Bauer stares at him unblinkingly.

"You know, at least it's still the majors....I hear that Walden and Forga may need some help in AAA...perhaps Cloughie and Bun Bun could use some help in Topeka...perhaps that whore waitress at that dive bar you frequent meets someone not that pleasant on her way home one night..." The Genius lets the sentence hang.

"How can I polish a turd like that pitching staff?" questions Bauer, as he leaves the room shaking his head.

The whore waitress pokes her head up from between Genius' legs," Subtle manipulation." she says.

"I'm not paying you to talk," The Genius tells her roughly as he shoves her head back down.
