Thats like saying someone hasn't done something "all year" on January 2nd. ;)

The last time I remember a "he hasn't had a (insert stat here) all year" that really stood out was when Caleb Joseph went 19 months plus with zero RBI.

Thank you, I always check SB nation first, and I’ve never seen a site that has been abandoned. I think there’s far more traffic here than at Camden chat, but Camden chat has been around and alive for a long time.

It was quite melancholy to check out halo heaven, and find nothing but crickets.

I’m not going to lose any sleep over it though.

I know it's only the 2nd game, but I'm wondering if the offseason goof was not getting one more solid bullpen arm. 

That was a fairly obvious need after the Bradish and Means news forced Wells and Irvin into the rotation.  Maybe even before that.  Elias is surely looking for the right matchup in a trade, but I can't imagine any team eager to trade good relievers when it isn't even April yet.

Now that was crazy.

The pudgy faced applejohn coming in!

I never heard that term before. Applejohn. Had to look it up. 

Noun. applejohn (plural applejohns) (obsolete) A variety of apple which can be kept for a long period, gradually becoming dry and withered; known today as the French crab. 
French Crab is not too bad either. May use that for Kimbrel at some point.

      The on field product has the talent to win and bring out fans now.  I’m not saying not to spend more money.  Your first paragraph I agree with. The new owner assumes all the “debts” leftover. Ultimately it’s their responsibility to repair it.    They screwed up big time with their pricing. If this team rebounds and gets in the DS the excitement will pick up. Only the last week did they have any momentum after months of losing it.

      That’s a very good point, but then you have the question whether you would be willing to give up McDermott plus for erceg, and that’s an easy trade to make. Plus, the athletics need almost everything, they wouldn’t want Hays But we could’ve found something to satisfy them.

      IMO, this mindset ("new chapter") is part of the problem. We can't act like the past and the terrible relationship that the org had with it's customer base does not matter or have a carryover effect. Whether the org calls itself "new" or not IMO is irrelevant. The issue is whether or not it will operate in enough meaningful different ways. If the org wants more of it's market to be engaged it is going to have to raise the bar to championship expectations and invest more in the on-field product. That would be different from the past and would indeed reflect that something is "new".

      All of you guys talking about empty seats and an unengaged fanbase - did you not see the post showing over 41K in attendance, more than in MIL or HOU?  Are those fan bases also unengaged or disinterested? This is much ado about absolutely nothing.

      I think at this point its just semantics regarding what a successful deadline looked like.  Elias upgraded three positions - SP, 2 RP.  Could there have been bigger upgrades?  Sure, at a bigger cost.  I think it was sufficient.  What has killed the team is the hitting.  If this team had hit like its capable of, and Soto, Eflin, and Dominguez all pitched exactly as they have, we'd all be feeling a lot better about the team, and probably lauding Elias for those three pickups and what a great boost they were at the deadline.  But we aren't hitting - at all - and I don't know what he could have done at the deadline to fix that. Already agreed that the draft strategy must evolve. I don't agree it was a bad strategy to do what they did so far, but it does have to evolve, just as the organization as a whole has evolved.  And I think it will.

      I don't mean this as any kind of personal slight toward you. Please do not take this as such. But people/fans showed how they felt about this team who has been a loser for almost 4 months. And largely continued to hedge (beyond the Eflin addition) at the deadline. I bet you who did not have a bunch of empty seats for their playoff game yesterday .... San Diego. IMO it is because of the effort that they put in to continue to engage the fanbase. You can't sell people on the "homegrown" stars idea and no need to add a lot of outside talent. And then some of those "homegrown stars" who were so hyped flop. And then not extend the ones who turn into stars. That communicates a lack of investment by the org. Now when you add that up in the economy/2024 inflation and combine that with all of the other entertainment choices that people have in 2024; things like this will happen. Empty seats during a playoff game = an unengaged/unexcited fan base. The org has to own much of this.
