It's not just the constant teardowns, but also the inexplicable decisions that seem to be generated by an algorithm instead of a human being. Plus not even looking Sandy in the eye and having a conversation with him before signaling to bring in Bender. Bender was 15/27 in career save opportunities (prior to last night's meltdown). He had a 9.82 ERA to boot. On what plane of the multiverse does that make him a better option than Sandy? Tyler Phillips was pretty good in a closer/setup role last year, but now they're using him as long relief? It makes absolutely no sense. Also, Clayton needs to man up and manage the team. Having different lineups vs. RHP and LHP is a joke. Let your prospects start. Hoq are we going to know if Cassie can hit lefties if they don't even give him an opportunity? If the computer spits out a garbage lineup, McCullough needs to rip it up and tell Bendix he's starting his best 9 players. What are Jiminez and Slater doing on this team, other than taking ABs away from young guys who might actually be quality MLB players? There's a reason Slater was available right before the year started. Norby is a disaster at 1B, and needs to not play there ever again. It's just maddening.

I think Bride might be a DFA candidate. He's been horrid.

I nominate Avi for series MVP since he’s an addition by subtraction.
