I care about how the FLOPS do relative to the other teams. Thats different than caring how the other teams are doing. For example, I care that the flops finish above the Yankmees, but I don’t care how the yankmees finish other than that they finish below the FLOPS.
-
I don’t care what the Cubs do or what any other team does. We suck. That’s what I care about. Breslow failed to secure top flight offensive talent, signing bums like IKF and Durbin and what’s-his-name. I am quite sure that’s demoralizing to the players who want to play baseball in October and realize that isn’t going to happen with the bums BresLOW added. I am quite sure that’s part of why some players are underperforming. It’s a matter of “why should I bust my ass if management isn’t supporting the team…..
-
Obviously that’s not true. They are in last place and very near the bottom in runs scored and OPS. BresLOW failed miserably and the fans will have to put up with watching the FLOPS again instead of the SOX.
-
I think I made my point. It’s valid. I remember a couple of years ago when the flops were at the trade deadline and I read an interview with one of the players who said “everyone knows what this team needs”. They didn’t get the talent they needed then either. I am quite sure that has an adverse effect on the psychology of the players. It says that management doesn’t believe in them. The result is that the players just go through the motions-which is what they are doing now.
-
Sure. They gave up because no significant talent was signed over the winter. You are underestimating their intelligence. Everyone knows what the team needed and didn’t get. You really think the players are that stupid?
-
The players knew what they needed to become a contender. No doubt they were pretty deflated when they saw that the cheapskate owner wasn’t willing to shell out the money to provide the team with what everyone knew it needed. I am quite sure that is a large part of the reason we stink.
-
It’s not a matter of “instead of”. It’s a matter of “in addition to”. Breslow failed and should be fired.
-
This was totally predictable. I predicted it on this forum over the winter when they failed to sign a single good bat despite losing both Devers and Bregman and others. I saw this coming and I’m not that smart. If I could see it coming why couldn’t Breslow? Henry no doubt saw it too but he doesn’t give a $hit. It$ all about the dollar$ with him.
-
5-0 Game over Not going to support this team by watching them. No one should.
-
And less offense. At the end of the day you still have to be able to hit the baseball and score runs. Right now the FLOPS are 26th in runs scored of the 30 teams in MLB and 28th in OPS. This was totally predictable when he opted to sign bums rather than talent over the winter. This is half his fault and half the cheapskate owners fault. Breslow failed.
-
Cora deserved to be fired but only in conjunction with Breslow being fired. He handed Cora a pile of DUNG to trot onto the field.
-
He has company. IKF stinks too. There are others. All the while Henry is lying to our faces about his desire to present a competitive team. If he had just been honest and said that his top priority is to make the most money possible I could have respected him for his honesty. I have no respect at all for him now.
-
They should have traded (or DFA’d) the useless Masa to make room for a better player. Henry was too cheap to do the right thing..
-
Suarez was available. I know he is so far having an off year but his career OPS+ is above average. Instead they signed another bum. Durbin sucks.
-
Crochet going down sucks for him, but this is a LAST PLACE team with him or without him. And THAT is getting very very old.
-
Here is what he is going to do about it: keep lying to our faces about his "commitment to win" while failing to spend the money to do so and keeping his puppet Breslow on retainer to deflect attention from him. Its SICK that its not even MAY and the season is already OVER.
-
Just to get to 90 wins they’d have to play about .600 ball. Not gonna happen
-
Sometimes I am overly optimistic. You’ll have to forgive me for my irrational exuberance.
-
Most people here thought they would make the playoffs. I kept posting that it’s a fourth place team and no playoffs. I think the Flops may still beat out the Rays.
-
6-1 BUMS BUMS BUMS Can’t watch these bums anymore Outta here
-
Really sucks that it’s not even May and the season is already over. It didn’t have to be this way. The talent was out there and available to sign, but the cheapskate owner wouldn’t open his purse. But hey! Full throttle, right?
-
Last place! Last place! Last place! AGAIN!
-
It wasn’t Cora’s fault that he was handed a bunch of loser bums to trot out there. That’s on Breslow and the cheapskate owner.
-
This isn’t even a fourth place team as I predicted over the winter.
-
5-1 Told ya the game is OVAH! Why is Breslow still on the payroll?
