The coaching decisions concern me a lot more than the players. If the moves are obvious to us as fans, why aren't they to the head coach?
Lazy hire...that's what you get with lazy hires. Shoulda hired Lovelady. Anyone who doesn't think otherwise is an idiot
Thanks Blake! We are going to waste this young talent when we could’ve had lovelady molding them into a legit CWS squad by at least next season!

There are players on this team that have "it". But this team as a whole does not have "it".
None taken. We suck.
Maybe I'm seeing it through orange and green colored glasses, but if Gino and the coaching staff hold themselves to the standard set for the players ( "improve every game"), I still think this team could be decent by season's end.
We'll score enough runs. But if the defense is just this bad and DiMare doesn't start making better pitching change decisions, then I agree, we'll suck. That said, one change he needs to make right now is give Veliz a shot at closer. I love Federman's passion, but Veliz is averaging over 1.5 K's per inning, and we'll need that out of a closer with our shaky late inning defense.
Maybe I'm putting lipstick on the pig, but I hope not.
1-0 with no errors and 16 runs since this post!
