Glad the tickets I had for this season were all earlier this year. For
the rest of the season, if I want to watch live baseball, I'll drive out
to Coney Island and see the Cyclones.

I don't know why they did this. If they want to compete next year they
will need Robertson

With Scherzer now gone, it looks like a full-blown fire sale. I don't
mind breaking up the team as much as I hate the idea that Billy Eppler
calling the shots.

I don't understand trading Verlander or Robertson. those are not
replacable parts.

I'm assuming they're aiming for 2025. Say one thing for Steve Cohen,
he's willing to realize the 2023 roster was a colossal mistake and
dismantled it immediately; bad press be damned. Verlander never got the
chance to prove himself, but Robertson did and did it well. He for sure
I'd have kept, in that I doubt they're aiming for last place next season.

He was probably wrong about that though. Sometimes good teams just fail
to Jell or it takes time for them to Jell.

If there was any problem it was that Epler is not Sandy. This pitching
staff lost 3 front line starters and Lugo and several ballpen parts.
Epler puts nice shiney pieces on the board and forget the other 15
members of the roster.

If you want to really know what killed this team it was the complete
BUST of Peterson and McGill.

It was not. It was just an off year. It happens.

there is nothing they can develop, buy, or trade for that will be a good
