Shutout by the Marlins…at home…. TWICE!!! This can’t happen! The entire team is underperforming offensively and we’re going to blame the GM right? When does the coaching staff have to answer for this?

When will they be fired?

When one or two players slump it’s baseball but when it’s the entire lineup underperforming that’s at least partially on coaching. How much talent can a GM find bargain bin shopping?

Wow losing 1-0 to the Marlins at home. Yuck. How much longer can our “hitting” coach survive?

Finally!!!!

It’s been a while since Carp went deep. Now would be a really good time!

The rain might be a mercy to us. Dialed in pitchers to this lineup gets ugly fast!

Batters who punish middle middle mistakes. Must be nice!

Lots and lots of strikeouts so far. Cortes is painting but getting a lot of help from the ump.

All of us have had some terrible assessments of players. It happens. You could be right, you could be wrong. Me I want to see how the season progresses, I’m not throwing in the towel in early May. I do think like gehringer 2 mentioned that Tork needs a reboot. He probably needs to be sent down for a couple weeks. If/when that happens of few on this board are going to light it up with negativity, and that’s a shame.

Ok, sure, I can concede that, but your label of “major bust” is still ridiculous.

An era over 4, low k rate, tons of time missed, and a MIA splitter (his supposed signature pitch) is decent for a 1:1? People expect a triple crown out of Tork apparently, seems expectations for Mize are not in the same stratosphere for some reason. Regardless of the disproportionate expectations, I’m still a fan of both.

Do major busts hit 31 homers? I disagree, and think it’s hyperbole. There’s no denying he’s been awful this year but there’s data to suggest he can and likely will have a good productive career. Major bust are out of baseball in a few years or flounder around in the minors, look at a lot of our picks in the 90’s.

Some say availability is your best ability. I understand he’s been hurt, but that’s just it. He’s been out, not helping the team. Even when he’s been in he’s not played like a 1:1, which apparently is a thing here. I just find it interesting is all. I’m rooting for them both to live up to their potential but it’s quite apparent that others have made up their minds and are dug in as far as Tork goes.

So patience is subjective and not universal. Ok
