Let me:
Increased signs of life sort of verify the moribund state of these guys earlier. They were, mentally disengaged. Improper attitudes. That only happens to a lower class of player. It almost hurts to see a higher state of play knowing they didn’t care enough to access it earlier.
Im old school and don’t understand much about load management. I just know that this is a kid entering the time his life he will never be physically stronger. We’re protecting professional athletes like fine china these days. Considering the state of the team, Luis might consider being against this and play.
Interesting they still aren’t sure what they have here yet in order to make changes. These are people that need to be hit in the face with a swing shovel so that they realize they are on the ground.. Stepping on rakes for years hasn’t done much.
He claims when other owners spend on big deals for players, he has to follow suit. Except, he never has. they're the dumb ones though, winning in the playoffs, while his teams don't, to a historically bad level of don't
They should have traded him really while they had the chance. That would never happen in Chicago though. Jerry has sacred cows aplenty. Basically every veteran player is a sacred cow. Unless I guess that one time. In band camp.
A mid first round pick that gets to the show and has any MLB career is an exception. That was pretty weak draft IIRC. There weren’t high expectations for Jake Burger. Injuries taking a guy out is a side category to me.
