Just let this season be a development one, even if our division is pure ass. I just don't want to see the front office overspend on a dream that just isn't ready yet.

I just don't want to see the front office overspend on a dream that just isn't ready yet.I'm not totally against trying to improve the team since you don't want to piss a way a chance to make a run, but yeah I'd say the goal is basically trying to win with the guys you believe you're going to keep winning with in the years to come.

2 hours ago2 hr Sammy seems to always have an approach at the plate, whether the team is scuffling or not. I wish some of our other hitters could say that.

2 hours ago2 hr 2 minutes ago, The Mighty Mite said:I just don’t understand Venable sometimes.Agreed. His decisions are baffling at times.
2 hours ago2 hr I’d really like to know what the “Bannister Lab” does. Can’t think of a single young pitcher in this organization that has meaningfully improved this season other than Burke and that is probably more attributed to Bove than anyone else.

2 hours ago2 hr In the offseason, I read from an interview with Venable in which he was asked to explain some things about the batting order and he was (surprisingly IMO) open that he could not explain them because batting order is decided by the front office/numbers people. I assume that's still the procedure even if hopefully he's been motivated to do his homework enough to understand the reasoning behind the decisions being made on his behalf.

2 hours ago2 hr He just does not look like a guy that is a pitcher. He's throwing, is landing all over the mount, labors, has no flow. Really tough watch. Almost pre pitch clock type tedium.
