I dont think it carries 0 weight. What he is saying, is that hes sick of all the falling back to options B,C,D,E. The lineup as it is currently constructed was not plan A,B,C,D,E
I personally believe that Fred (who I like) is overestimating how much financial pressures from ownership are contributing to that. But I also feel like some other posters (not you) overestimate how much the falling back is a choice , and then they applaud it.
It reminds me of a deadline a couple years ago. Im a homer but I have 2 friends that are more homer than I. And one deadline a few years ago my buddy was like "Im so glad no deadline moves. Because I really like this team. Bloom like me, just really really really loves this team".
Meanwhile Bloom was on TV and was like "Vegas gives us about a 25% chance to make playoffs, team aint worth short term investments" ...And Im thinking thats like the exact opposite of what my friend is telling me. Bloom is essentially saying the team is too bad to add to (in the short term). And my friend, expectedly, goes into the whole "some people shouldnt open their mouth. Why say that."
And Im thinking: " You just want to be happy withy what you got, you want to lie to yourself that this team was built to win, and management is not telling you what you want to hear, and I find the statements refreshingly honest."
I never had an issue with Blooms communication style. I did have issues with his (lack of) aggression and complacency to roll a mediocre roster over year over year.
