I’ve been told that I’ve been Drinking The Kool-Aid more than once with this team, and I reply that it tastes more like Champagne to me with four titles in twenty years. But this week and especially yesterday have been a real kick in the teeth, I know you can’t control injuries and funny bounces, but bad defense, odd bullpen choices, and especially stupid baserunning CAN be controlled. And whatever the Verdugo thing was (I haven’t read the board yet if info has come out) . . .
Have we been fooled two years in a row at the trade deadline by winning streaks making us think we shouldn’t trade a couple veterans for some prospects? Fool me once . . .
This team doesn’t have to make the Playoffs this year, although it would be nice. But if they don‘t turn things around soon then it may be time for Cora to go. And if they aren’t really competitive next year then I think we know the Chaim Bloom Experience has been a failure. I won’t go full SJH on the team but I will be angry. And they won’t like me when I’m angry.
