I don’t give him any credit for saying something that is a clear view of a messy situation-because the mess was obvious before he made all his bad decisions and his grasp of things is so weak. Plus he will make new errors on into the future that fail to apply his supposed clarity at the moment.
Agreed that Jung had fallen off so much that he wasn’t going to be in the organizations short-term plans. And that him making a change that has positive results is great. Whether that can be sustained or if it means they keep him long term is TBD. Normally a high draft choice like him would be a significant chip for a trade, but so far this year his value was too low. Can he do enough in the next month to raise his stock?
To your last point, a good chunk of that was rung up on Whitley, who had been released recently and had an era over 8 when he came in today. Now it’s 13. But yes, your point stands, they have been scoring enough to win…it’s the pitching.
