With Larrbo off in exotic lands on Vacation, i think we now have a chance. I don't mind throwing my big buddy under the bus, especially when he's outa town!
Yeah, looks to me like we are playing better baseball. This team seemed to have gotten away from their roles. Speed guys were hitting fly balls and power guys kept hitting grounders. Lots of small things, nothing too major in themselves but added up, it has cost us a fairly long "hic-up" as Bochy likes to say.
As is, we are in this thing and our competition is not doing much better. I see lots of room for our team to improve.
Sabean says, "our team obviously needs help". Then in the next sentence he says, "they need to help themselves first" ...before they can expect help from him.
Right now, i believe that we have 4-5 guys that have some potential but should not be playing at all on this team. When you look at the better Teams in the game, there are strong bench guys ready and willing to step in and nothing lost. These guys others have might be second string guys but they could be first string guys on other teams. We don't have that, not even close to that. Our weak bench has been providing less than quality play from guys that just are not ready or good enough, and, it's not the Players fault!!
