Hard to argue against that for sure. There's gotta be a way to fix both but dang, where does it start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have players that absolutely suck being run out there every day yet for some odd reason he has some platoon situation. The lineup construction used by this fucking drunk asshole is killing me and this team. There is zero opportunity for any consistency because of what he thinks, with no support, is a good idea, Also maybe being the Cuban pipeline wasn't that great of an idea after all.

But here is the worst part and I don't know how you get past it as a fan (at least I don't know how...): Even if they "re-tooled" or even tried to "rebuild" again...why should we think for one second this FO would get it right this time? There is zero evidence to support they know what they are doing. So it's kind of like what's the point to all this? What are we doing if we know this FO, including ownership, is just stuck in this mode of constant mediocrity? That's why this season is so hard to stomach, for me at least. It really was the nail in the coffin for me that we just aren't going to get anywhere with the current structure in place. It's a 2000's Blackhawks situation... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could give two shits where he is playing. He looks like a guy that got his money and will work hard when a new deal is on the horizon. If he was not locked up long term, I think we see a different guy. Same with Jimenez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Twins are falling back finally with all their injuries. They get torched by the Jays next in TOR. Which means the torture drags on.
