hate to say it, but maybe TLR wasn't the biggest problem?

they are pretty depressing. the pitching is bad all-around, their best players are constantly injured, there's still a lot of rando chaff guys in the lineup. robert started the season off hot but cooled off quickly. they made no moves at all in the offseason aside from losing abreu and signing benintendi. mostly there just doesn't seem to be any energy or motivation among the players, they should probably just go into rebuild mode at this point.

Tim Anderson is a free agent in 2024 as well.

took a no-hitter into the 7th inning and ended up losing 12-3 (to the rays, to be fair)

someone hire ashlyn burger

Jake Burger said his wife analyzed video of his stance yesterday and made a correction. ‘She drew a whole diagram and everything. She was really proud of it, so I have to give her credit.”

“There was definitely a little issue with how I was setting up.”
