A.J. Preller: "We've spent a couple 15 hour days with Ruben and Craig talking about how we can be better... (Ruben) is gonna have a big time voice in it. He's gonna continue to get more opportunity not just to help the pitchers."
Sounds like Niebla might get a new job title.

Stammen says the support of past teammates and coaches made him believe that this was possible. Had to get over the stigma of being a pitcher and a reliever at that.

Preller says the COVID season showed his decision making skills on top of his leadership. Pushed back on ownership in a well thought out manner when necessary. They knew at that point they'd want to keep him around the organization after he retired.

A brace for Pellegrino.
What a bounce back performance so far for San Diego FC, who could've easily played tight after last weekend's letdown.
The way they've carried themselves from match one on has been so impressive.

Amahl Pellegrino gives SDFC some insurance.
They picked up the 35-year-old in August and he has been enormous for them since the start of October.

Craig Stammen once told us that A.J. Preller would call him a winning 45 on an 80 point scale.
An average talent but a winning player.
They kept him in the organization after he retired and now need him to be a winning manager.

A.J. Preller on Ben & Woods didn’t have an update on a contract extension - said the focus has been on finding a manager. He did say he looks forward to being with the club for a long time.

Nice start for the Aztecs, especially after they shook off some early struggles on offense.
Nearly shot 50% from three, forced 21 turnovers, won by 32.
Did so without Gwath and Dixon-Waters.
Elzie Harrington had 13 points in his debut and looks like the real deal.

The Aztecs scored 17 points the first 13 minutes of the first half.
They scored 23 the final 7 minutes, eight from Miles Byrd.
Good to see them find some offensive rhythm after a clunky start.
