We haven't played those bastards since 4/23/19. Lets get a win tomorrow night! Now that that's out of the way, some thoughts after a tough weekend...
I am still shocked at how poorly this team fields. I thought almost regardless of personnel this team would be fundamentally sound in the field (as well as on the bases and in the small ball department).
As has been pointed out, the need to move Frank to the rotation has crippled the bullpen. Is Gomes ever going to pitch again? He hasn't thrown since he blew that save in Arlington.
The approach at the plate continues to baffle me. A few have stepped up, but how many times have we seen guys completely give up an AB? I really don't like calling out specific players, but someone is going to need to.
I'm still not ready to give up on this season. Maybe I'm naive or just bought too much into the preseason hype, but I think this team can make a Regional. 2023 was always going to be the year in my mind to make a big postseason push, but lets not throw away '22 quite yet. WIll Bolt is a good baseball coach and these guys can recruit. Go Big Red!
