Chuck, don't give up yet. I hope you keep the package up until July.
This team just can't be this bad. They look awful now but things can
swing around.

I maybe crazy but I think Jay Bruce is finally going to make progress
this year. .270 30 80 is very possible. Chapman will be up in two weeks,
management has to do something to fill the seats. Janish could be a
pleasant surprise. He had another line drive hit in the 8th inning.
Hannigan is tearing the cover off the ball.

Baseball is all about streaks. Arroyo can bounce back. He has had
outings like this in the past two years and has always bounced back.
Nick Massett and Homer Bailey have too good of stuff to keep faltering.

You must get rid of dead wood with no potential upside. Harang and
Hernandez if not gone, must become part time players at this point in
their careers. How good would Hairston look in CF and leading off this
year as opposed to the garbage we have got out there now. I would have
rather spent money on Hairston and went with Hairston, Janish and taken
my chances as opposed to Stubbs/ Cabrera. Cabrera may be showing a
little life with the bat but his range is probably the worst in he
N.L..... Are Red's scouts that bad?

This division sucks so anything is possible. Lets wait until the middle
of June to make a serious evaluation on this club.

I think Brandon and Cueto are smoking the same Pipe..2 bonehead plays
today and behind again through 4 complete
From: john smith on
This team has very poor fundamentals. They are constantly making mental
mistakes. Cueto took everything for granted getting thrown out at third.

Fundamentals is common sense but some of it comes down to leadership and
falls on the manager. He needs to correct it right away and be more
strict with his players. Baker hasn't done this.

It is one thing when you are playing poorly, but you just compound the
misery when you keep repeating the same mental mistakes this team has
made over the last few years! It gets downright unwatchable from a fan's
perspective.
