This organization is incompetent.  

From 4 over .500 to 5 under .500

A starting line-up with Cooper leading off and includes Gonzalez and Dunand while De La Cruz sits?

An apparent lack of depth with Wendle, Jazz, Rojaz, Berti all not playing

Glaring needs in a CFer and a closer not resolved

A line-up full of similar hitters who don't understand situational hitting and constantly fail with RISP

A decent starting rotation that will be wasted.

A cheap owner who refuses to get top of the line free agents and goes after cheaper and less productive options.

A GM that doesn't seem able to make the right decisions and actively make changes as needed

A manager who is sleepwalking, is unable to motivate players and needs to be fired.

 

This team needs change and is unwilling to do anything to improve the product.  Outside of Jazz and Wendle, this offense needs an overhaul.  I'm ready to move on from Sanchez, Rojas, Aggy, Cooper, Anderson, Soler and Avi.   We have too many of the same type of hitter in this weak line-up and that's on Sherman and Ng for going after cheaper players and not being able to evaluate hitters.  Too often this season, I keep thinking after almost 30 years, do i still want to be a fan? Or do I become one of those who will show up again if the team ever makes playoffs again and save myself time and aggravation?  

@CyggyMarlin made the post above in the game thread but since it’s locked I can’t reply there so I will here….

 

The even more pathetic thing is it’s the same story every year.  We always need more depth, we always need more scoring, we always need different look/skill set guys, we always need a new manager, yet they keep doing the same things every year….

…..what’s the definition of insanity?

 

 

Ive shifted into “meh” territory already this season.   Part of that is because I’ve been just plain busy and haven’t been able to see many games, but I’m also not entirely bummed I’m missing them either like I would’ve been a few years ago - they’re just not worth watching….a 1-run loss and/or shutout is the most likely outcome on any given night, with the occasional “look we can score sometimes” game in there to tease everyone, including seemingly the front office.  
We’re in yet another year where we’re here saying “if only _____, we’d win these close games”, and the FO doesn’t seem willing (or able, if it’s Sherman/money related) to take that step to “bulletproof” the team, and it’s getting infuriating to the point of indifference…….as many of us have said many times: 

THEY DON’T CARE, WHY SHOULD WE?

I am a fan of the NFL and NHL, but I love baseball 10X more than any other sport.  My love for the game is almost gone; ruined by owners and a commissioner ... I am actually highly excited for Jaguars season to start so I can forget about baseball
