3 new bats and 2 new arms along with new leadership at the top of the organization. Anyone shopping all of that? This team really reminds me of the 2021 squad in the sense that they give up as soon as they fall behind and they can’t put anyone away. No heart at all, and that comes from the top down with how mediocrity is acceptable to the front office.
Can we not do this dumb shyt with Cole again
? He’s coming off an elbow injury so nobody should be shocked he’s having trouble finding his form. He’s been just fine in the postseason too. He’s got a career 2.93 postseason ERA. Roger Clemens is at 3.75 and Pedro Martinez is at 3.46 for comparison. Choker should be reserved for someone whose era goes through the roof like how Kershaw is in the mid 4’s for the playoffs. If you’re still mad about that wild card game vs Boston, blame Cashman. Everyone knew he was on a bad leg and shouldn’t have even been out there, but the rest of the rotation was made of guys coming off blown out shoulders and Tommy John surgery so Cole on one good leg who’d obviously been hurt for a month was their best option.
Let’s stop it, with us he has almost a 3.5 postseason ERA. He’s been buns against Red Sox and Astros in the playoffs. Red Sox own him in the regular season too. Never said he’s Kershaw bad, but he just isn’t a big game winner. This isn’t about just this season. Dude is gutless. Finds ways to lose when it matters. I said he’s an ace, but can’t trust dude to come up big when you need him. Let’s not forget the sticky stuff dilemma too. Always an excuse with him.Can we not do this dumb shyt with Cole again
The playoffs against Boston is a one game sample size where everyone knew he shouldn’t have even been on the mound too. They should have just gone with an opener given how he needed a trip to the DL for his bad hamstring. That team was dead in the water anyway. That team started rougned odor, Kyle higashioka, Andrew Velazquez, and Joey Gallo in that game with gallo hitting cleanup.
I’ve been saying blow it up since 2021
. No point in any sort of fire sale if the troll in the front office oversees it. This problem runs so much deeper than the roster, as bad as it is. No team gets less out of their players than this one does. That’s a problem that goes above the players.I’d be willing to lose Soto in free agency and then Cole and Judge to trade demands if the trading was the finally clear out the front office.
Getting their asses kicked on national tv again.
