I find it interesting that the same team, among the youngest in the majors, that we thought a month ago had finally found their footing in the big leagues is now thought to be irredeemably terrible and beyond repair.
It’s possible might actually be irredeemably terrible and beyond repair after all—and no doubt, a few of the guys are on this roster right now are—and who knows, maybe we will end up having to blow up the whole team and start over. But I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt at the moment and choose to believe that for a lot of these guys, the guys who can be saved, this is more like a step in the maturation process. They’re learning how to manage themselves through horrible slumps like this, and I think the best of them will be better for it. We might even be using this specific opportunity to determine who to weed out going forward into next year, and even into October. 🤞🏼
This is a really hard stretch to go through, and it’s definitely hard to watch, but I’m not throwing in the towel quite yet.
