Final month of this garbage season starts poetically in the land of trashcans.

Until this team is ready to be serious contenders, evidenced in part by seriously pursuing really good free agents, then player development should be more important than win totals. If young talent leads the team to 95 wins that is great, but if it only leads to 70 wins then that is fine. A 70 to 75 win team that is developing players is better than an 85 win team that is not doing all it can to develop players.

Agree. Looks like that is the direction we're going. We have already passed on real good free agents.

when do you see them being ready? nothing i'm seeing from JD and the ownership is showing me that they are even thinking about becoming serious contenders now or in the foreseeable future

Who knows, but until then, development should be first and foremost.

The answer to your question may not be known until the team is sold.

So continue to wait and endure

Well we learned something early. Don't give Brantly anything good to hit. Playing catch up again.

So tired of watching Gallo living on his past HR yrs. No wonder we don't score more runs

It ain’t all on Gallo. Offensively we sucked before the trade deadline and now we’re worse than before.

Well it is plenty on Gallo. All he does is W or K
and that is not what he is paid for. No matter what others do, he is paid to perform.

Another rally fizzles.
