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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
