Broken Record Observations
Posted: Thu Jun 25, 2026 5:27 pm
1. Not only do we strike out way too much but we strike out ugly on pitches out of the zone
2. We are a poor defensive team. Particularly in the outfield. It’s like we have a bunch of mediocre DH’s that have to play out there
3. We seem to refuse to play small ball when runs are at a premium
4. I don’t know if it’s on the pitcher or catcher but we are too easy to steal on
5. Our pen is incomplete with too many minor leaguers
6. Our “Studs” are horribly inconsistent
7. Our bench/role players appear to be the worse in baseball
8. We are undisciplined with soft field management which appear to focus on enabling rather than accountability
9. The whole is worse than the sum of its parts
Bottom Line: Management is responsible for horrible roster construction and frugality. What I also believe is that it’s very fixable with some bold moves rather than our something approach
