Blame game:
1. John Henry for hiring Bloom.
2. Bloom. He is way out of his league. He put together a dysfunctional team and has not improved it at all.
3. Cora. His moves this season have been mostly puzzling.
4. The players.
It all adds up to a disaster of a season.
In the 6th inning, Man on first, no outs and Sanchez is in an 0-25 skid. Astros have shift on. Can someone tell me why Sanchez isn't bunting to no one at third base? He is a punch and judy hitter anyway. Dumb baseball.
Bullpens are a crap shoot from year to year. Schreiber is having a career year better than he has ever been. He might turn back into a pumpkin next year. Barnes is done as an effective reliever. Whitlock and Houck are the real deals. Strahm is so so. Definitely need more power arms.
