First class write-up. They put a lot of resources into the pitch lab, but they haven't found a solution for throwing good pitches. They walk too many and throw bad strikes. The minor leagues have a lot of good players and no great players. And the Ricketts are content with buying one good player and paying him like a great player once every six years or so.
There are bad owners all over baseball, but there are none who have the combination of abject awfulness of the Ricketts family.
