This is the bullpen David Stearns’ built. They seemed to be the right moves at the time but this is a SPECTACULAR failure. Titanic like in fact. I don’t want to hear about the “little” moves blah blah blah. What is wrong with our talent evaluation?
This year is fast becoming a lost cause and a waste. It’s also big problems and a black mark for everyone involved in this $300m plus disaster. If this team doesn’t find something soon and we’ve seen nothing to suggest we will, major changes should be considered. Why would Mendoza survive? He’s a nice guy? What about Hefner? Why is he so “respected” ? Results just aren’t there. Bigger issue is our “organizational “ philosophy of not signing SP to long term deals. Hitting coaches? Do we even employ them?
Finally, what about the “core” of this team. Lindor? He disappeared. Soto? He ain’t going anywhere with that contract. Alonso? Is he really the problem? Nimmo is just maddening. We feel kind of leaderless and dare I say gutless. Fans seem more upset than players. They still get paid I suppose.
What a mess.
