“I don’t know if you’d call it a stretch anymore. It’s just bad baseball,” Arenado said, via Bally Sports Midwest. “We have been playing bad baseball for awhile now. Do I think we can play better baseball with the players we have in here? Sure. But that remains to be seen.”

I really don't know if this team can be saved at this point. They need to clear out FO and coaching staff.

I'm honestly a little shocked that Marmol hasn't been canned yet. I don't have cable TV so really only know what I read in headlines and the final score alerts from ESPN, but at least twice he's put the players on blast. Maybe I'm wrong but it feels like those kinds of comments will only further divide a team.

He hasn't been fired because Mo doesn't want to fire this many managers in such a short time. Pure ego.

I'd be surprised if this happened. I think the major restriction is ownership not wanting to spend money.

Yeah, that's been the problem for the last several years. DeWit wants to get by with what we have and not open up the wallet. Every year it's the same story. We're not a coastal team, we can't spend that much. We have a ton of talent ready to come up this year and make a difference. It seems like the casual fan is finally coming around to seeing it wasn't a problem with Matheny, Schildt, or Marmol (not to say all 3 didn't have their own issues too) and more a problem with the ownership.
