Baseball sucks and I hate it.

What's wild about this game is that you have to be great to win 100 and truly awful to lose that many. So to have a recent 100-game winner melt down repeatedly at the hands of multiple 100-game losers is truly bizarre.

Likewise, this team's uninspired play at MMP suggests a fundamental problem that runs much deeper than a cluttered batter's eye or a less than raucous home crowd. Seldom has a worse job of managing a defending champion ever been recorded, and it deserves immediate dismissal in shame. Flush the lines.

Hubris finally catching up to this team.  The lack of urgency from leadership throughout the season is very possibly going to cost them a spot in the postseason. 
 

Resting players so they are fresh for the postseason doesn’t do much good if you miss the postseason.   It’s a great strategy when you jump out to a comfortable lead, but it’s foolhardy when you don’t.  
 

And that’s the thing that makes what is happening now so frustrating.  It absolutely did not have to be this way.
