Would've been nice to see some signs of life from this team. But they just haven't had it lately. Losing 4 of the past 5 series is just inexcusable. The bats continue to pull houdini acts. The pitching has unraveled time and time again. Will has no semblance of control over this clubhouse.
They're just limping to the finish line and praying nobody gets hot. It's not working.
They had the lead yesterday and the day before. That's a sign of life. They got beat. That's life in general. Losing 4 of 5 series isn't inexcusable, it's baseball.
I don't know what you're referring to about having control over the clubhouse. Are they eating chicken wings in between innings and running amok with strippers at night?
There are projections for this kind of thing, and those projections showed a month ago this would come down to the wire. With Cleveland. So here we are.

It's a young team that is probably regressing to the mean now instead of July or August. They lost 102 games a year ago. The fact we're even sitting here talking about this in mid September is wild enough.
I otherwise agree that they've been bad this month, but they're tied in the loss column and have games left to play.
