This inability to score runs has now gone beyond frustrating, all the way and beyond ridiculous!
These players need to be held accountable for what they are not doing, and, IMHO, the LIONS share of the blame should be placed squarely on the shoulders of:
1-Pederson
2-JD Davis
3-Conforto
4-Wade
5-Davis
6-Conforto
Those are 4 very solid bats, and to NOT be producing?
They need to be called out by management for not just not doing their job, but also for accepting pay checks they don't deserve!
Here's how the game has changed since my day.
1-The manager would be all over them like fleas on a rabid dog
2-They'd be called into the GM's office and chewed out
3-They'd be booed, and rightfully so, at their own ballpark.
Of course, in this kinder, gentler world, none of that happens.
The players are coddled, babied, spoken in a calm, soothing voice, and constantly assured that "we still love you and have great confidence that you'll come out of this soon."
This generation of players disgusts me.
Period.
I don't know any other way to say it.
Most of them have little heart, and even less honor.
Many, like Correa,. Conforto, Pederson, and others, sign million dollar contracts... and then not only do they NOT perform, but are coddled even more!
Not one of those players deserves the pay checks they are cashing.
And those are just a few.
As I said, this generation of players, and Gen Z and millennials in general, just disgust me.
