    I'm not even sure who to be mad at besides Dusty and Crane

    Imagine Crane having the nutz to bring Hinch or Lunhow back. He doesn't though.

    I'm nervous seeing Gilbert continue to develop over the years and even MORE nervous Tucker isn't locked up.

    6 years in the ALCS was amazing and not alot of fans know what that's like

    I still love my boys

    If Brantley is playing tomorrow, why can't he pinch hit tonight

    And has to be multiple runs. They'll trade a run for a double play. We can't have a double play abd then next batter is the 3rd out. Even 2 might be too low

    Because he's not really going to play tomorrow. He'll suffer a "setback" during BP, that's how the script goes.

    I don’t understand the love Dusty has for Jon Singleton, especially if Brantley is available. However, Singleton is due to come through one of these times, hopefully it’s tonight.

    All season this team has played w absolutely ZERO urgency. A byproduct of a manager who very early let the team know production and talent fell squarely behind seniority, favoritism, and “feel.”

    The fact that the franchise let Dusty run this team into the ground is staggering. At some point someone needed to let him know that once this race became a dog fight - and that was becoming painfully obvious before the all star break - he needed to manage like it. Instead they let him turn a team of hardened winners into a team who embraced complacency, where even our worst players got unwavering support at the expense of better ones, where job security was guaranteed and internal competition completely stifled.

    It’s obvious this attitude permeated throughout the entire clubhouse. We just saw Alex Bregman make 2 and almost 3 errors in ONE INNING at the single most pivotal point of our season. Something I wouldn’t have thought possible a year ago.

    Thank you for the title Dusty but please ride off into the sunset.
