People think we take "joy" in this. I take no joy in being in this spot, it f***ing sucks, but the quicker we move on, the quicker we can contend for real. It's just that some of us realized we needed to move on sooner than others. We wasted time and lost asset value on a fraudulent team that was never a real contender.
The window was 2021 and it was missed because enough wasn't done to fortify the pitching, especially early in the season when we watched the bullpen tank game after game.
