Apathy Has Set In

Firing or not firing people is not the problem. If those people took responsibility and said things like “we’ve done a terrible job. We are looking inward at our philosophies and trying to find where we went wrong to make sure it doesn’t continue”.  Then yeah.  You don’t have to fire them.

But no one says that. They refuse to acknowledge fault. Ron was pretty brutal about the lack of coaching today on the failure to backup bases. It’s a symbol of this front office. Refusal to change. 
 

If the ppl in charge are failing and refusing to change, firing them is not just the right move. It’s necessary. 

amen. exactly my point. firing will prove admission of previous failures and the desire to rectify those deficiencies once and for all. i am sure that steve did not make his billions by accepting failure and he has to prove that, once again, with this scenario.

I disagree that that is the dumbest and most pathetic move.

And I didn't advocate for doing nothing.

and i didnt advocate "for bloods sake."

You go back to earlier this season where Lindor was thrown out while on third. First and third, no one out, ground ball to first base. He wandered too far off the bag and was gunned down. No one held him accountable. Mendy tried to argue inexplicably that this was the right play. It clearly wasn’t. 
 

And because of that, it happened again later in the season. 
 

Carson Benge failed to challenge a close pitch in the ninth inning even though he had two challenges in his pocket. Not challenging was a mistake. Whether right or not, in that situation you have to try. No one said anything. And because of that, he made the same mistake two days later. 
 

Last year we wondered how a team this talented could go through such long losing streaks. Seemingly interminable stretches of bad baseball. A refusal to adjust can go a long way to explaining that. 
 

You wonder how an entire lineup can underperform expectations, some of them being very modest expectations.  How can a $380M team be dead last in OPS. A refusal to change a flawed hitting philosophy can get you there. 
 

When you have protracted failure, coupled with a refusal to adjust, you get this.

When you write "fire stearns, hitting coach, mendoza or the peanut vendor," it certainly suggests that.

Well, no, that is false.  It was the clear implication.  When you make no distinction among the president, the manager, the un-named hitting coach, and the peanut vendor, indiscriminate firings are what you are calling for.

If you don't want to back it up, I understand, but shitposting won't change that.

The schedule in June really has the potential to bury this team. The four game streak is nice. I’d be shocked if they’re not back to double digits below .500 at the end of this trip.

They are well on their way to making your expectation a reality.
