But that is a crazy stat.
That's been the cool thing about the franchise previously.
Some people just see them throwing money at players and I get that. But what I loved even as a kid was that they didn't put up with bullshit. If you weren't winning they were willing to blow shit up and try again.
George was relentless in trying to make sure that next year's team was going to be better than the current year. Now his son's are running it like a business where everything is slow and methodical and they seem far more concerned about a luxury tax than winning.
I'm not mad at trying to keep the salary under a threshold. That's fine. But when you're fucking loaded with talent and you can't win then it's time for wholesale changes to management.
Boone is like Jim Harbaugh. Good for short term cheerleading but there's no substance there. People tire of him and his shit decisions and realize they need someone with brains and fire.
So unless they shit out a new staff around him that can cover up his flaws and remind the lineup that the only way to hit .300 like they have in the past is to put the ball in play, I'm done with watching until he's gone.
