It's getting almost hard to fathom how spectacularly this team has fallen apart in the span of 2 weeks. We're basically down to 2.5/5 of a competitive starting rotation (Framber, Brown, and Walter gets partial credit) and 4/9 of the lineup we expected to see this year. Jesus Christ, due up next inning is Dubon, Matthews, Short. Is this early on in Spring Training before roster cuts start?
It seems pretty clear that a team can ride things out for a while held together by Elmer's and popsicle sticks, but you finally reach a point where any further instability causes the whole thing to come tumbling down.
It's difficult to really zero in on which aspect sucks the most right now, but the abysmal job we've been doing with RISP has got to take the cake. It's getting so fucking old how many games we have a double digit combo of hits and walks and end up with 2 runs or less. So many fucking innings with 2 on, 1 out and we end up with jack shit. When's the last time we hit a bases clearing double?
