A microcosm, that's what it was, of every way the FO and "ownership" have Fd this team the last couple of years. Ever since Crazy Joe Pohlad punted the team with his right-sizing BS, the vast majority of moves they've made (and haven't made) have been pathetically, comically wrong.
Imploding the ENTIRE BP was the most egregious, unforgivable error. I'm so sick of these effing pedestrians that stroll out of the BP into oncoming traffic every damn day. Orze, Banda, Fundy, ( who showed flashes in the past), and whatever Stiff of the Week they keep coming up with are a disgrace to a major league uniform.
And gawd almighty, can we please dispense with Bonehead Baseball?!? Austin, what the H are you doing making that swan dive? That's Baseball 101! (Rockies crew were chortling about him being a "defensive replacement"). Mr. Gray, the play is right in front of you - plus you may be the only guy in the league slower than Brooks! I was shouting at the screen - No No No! π« If Idiot Plays were in a box score, the Twinks would lead the league in something at last.
They came back and got it, thanks to a lucky topspin hop, and a bleeder through the drawn-in IF, so I'm glad they won in the end. But that's not going to happen often when we keep having these nitwits and talent-free hurlers haunting TargΓ©t Field.
