It might not, but if he's our 4th or 5th option it won't be in crushing situations. Obviously at some point you cut bait. I'd probably try him in another role first.
Please. Yes Sano made an error, but he still managed to give up 3 runs in 8 pitches. He certainly shares a huge chunk of the blame. But if they keep running him out there, it's on the Twins.
That isn't what I'm saying. We're inferior to the Astros too but we play them competitively. Tampa or Detroit would have but up far more of a fight in this series than we have. The talent gap exists. It does not explain this pathetic performance. Not even close.
There is a talent gap. But this is baseball. Even a bad team should still win one of 3 and be competitive in one of the other two. And we're not a bad team. We are completely defeated before the game starts.
Any other team in MLB could have been more competitive these 3 games than we have been. It's not a talent issue. If we were losing every game 4-3 you'd be right.
