Russell apologists are probably trying to remember why they defended their guy so vehemently. When an abuser isn't helping your fav sportsball team might be the breaking point of continued support.
Am I just imagining this, but wasn't Bote performing quite well when Russell was sitting with that hand issue, only to disappear from the lineup for like 10 of the last 14 games or so? FFS
Seriously, the only thing I'm bugged about is the system's inability to provide guys so signings like Chatwood and Descalso happen (yeah I know those aren't equivalent moves, no need to "ackchyually" me about it)
:dontknow: At least a couple of us have bitched about the need for more bats, only to be upbraided. Anyway, Kimbrel should be fun. Hope he has enough late leads to matter.
