Yeah no f***ing s*** we’ve all been saying this. But apparently “the front office knows better”

 

Looks like the front office lets the players decide when they go on the IL, which is a recipe for disaster. Most athletes will never remove themselves from the game voluntarily.

 

that is brutal, zero leadership (from coaches/managment) on this team

Its probably a side-effect of having a guy like Atkins (former player) as GM. Gives the players too much credit/control

[L54]

It was obvious they went that way, I don't think anyone was championing it.

 

There were people who were worried sacrificing defense would impact the pitching

 

Turns out the offense has also negatively impacted the pitching

This offseason, people were afraid of sacrificing defense to offense, show me where? I believe the majority of people wanted slg added to this team, meh...

Yes Spanky this offseason

Well you're calling this DPC out? Where'd that happen D?

Agree on all this.

 

The defense is so key and doesn't get enough credit. It's so easy for the losers and haters to sit in their mom's basement and tweet about how Atkins couldn't add any offense this offseason. But it never crosses their minds that Gausman remains an ace into his mid 30s, Kikuchi and Berrios had major bounce back seasons and that Bassitt threw 200 innings for the first time in his career at age 34.

 

If you start adding a bunch of Tommy Pham's to the lineup it's going to have an affect on the pitching and how you perceive it.

 

You asked

Average BJMB poster:

 

"But Terminator, the offense sucks! You and Spanky are r-words and should be panicking! We should have signed Tommy Pham! Fire Atkins....Whaaaaa!!!!"

 

The offense:

 

 

lol

 

But "it's early" Term. Atkins didn't do one thing to improve the offense we had last year and it wasn't good enough last year therefore, there's no chance it could be better this year.

 

Just say no to Tommy Pham

[Spanky99]

Just say no to Tommy Pham

Vlad is hitting .285

For comparison's sake, Joe Panik has a career ISO of .108

I’m out Spanky has to find someone else lol

[Spanky99]

Yes everyone but the pitching and defense crew wanted him because he can actually hit

 

Same as JDM. Ohhh but he’s a DH only. So is Vogelbach

 

But there was nothing that could’ve been done to fix the offense!

 

Wrong wrong wrong

 

lol... there was a Pitching and Defence Crew???

 

Can’t tell if serious
