Are you saying his players association diatribe wasn’t a pure deflection tactic with Albert this spring?

The hell it wasn’t.

This team is flawed no doubt about – I’m with ya on Theriot and Schumacher being somewhere south of bad, they flat out stink. Not sold on Freese by any means yet either.

That said, Dewitt and Mozeliak deserve the heat, one needs to oped their wallet and the other better
come up with better players to fill out a roster to complement the high salaried nucleus.

.
Tony being Tony means Tony being testy and surley, he doesn’t like be questioned or challenged, he is the epitome of hypocrisy….he be touting how great the offense was if through 6 games they were hitting the daylights out of the ball (like he did last year when the offense came flying out of the gate)…but if it is a negative thing, then it is just a small sample size.
.
To answer some of no questions….no, I don’t think the 2B or SS are going to hit…why in the world would he think they will? They are both horrible in the field and at the plate.

Did the same thing in spring training with the players association/Albert thing, worked like a charm.

He needs an audience to break into derisive laughter when he pulls this babyshit and imbue him with an attitude adjustment.

CRANKY!
