"What’s embarrassing is that you keep digging this hole. You want a winning plan but cry when the team actually protects their top asset. Walker Jenkins is 21 years old and the entire future of this franchise. Ruining his swing mechanics and destroying his confidence against lefties just to satisfy your mid-September boredom is exactly how you ruin a prospect.You claim I'm 'pulling stuff out of the air,' but you're the one playing armchair manager pretending a kid can develop under water. If you think the only way to build a winner is by grinding a rookie into dust during a lost season, you're living in a fantasy world. You don’t need to be in the clubhouse to understand basic player preservation—you just need a brain.And please, spare me the 'as a fan I have a right to a winning team' lecture. We all want to win. But doing the 'same thing year in and year out' doesn't mean you panic-play a rookie out of spite because the season went south. Throwing a 21-year-old into the fire against a tough lefty just to appease an angry guy on a message board is how bad franchises stay bad. If your vision for the future is breaking your best piece before the window even opens, thank god you are nowhere near this front office. Log off, take a breath, and let the professionals handle the future. Also stop with this I can get mad at the team bs and say abusive **** I really suggest logging off before you say something you're gonna regret.
