Burnes is great, but with these last few starts, I think he’s just thrown in the towel. I don’t think he cares anymore, and I can’t blame him. How many times in just the past month have one of our starters gone like 5 or 6 innings without giving up a single run, only to get a no decision because our pitiful offense can’t do anything.
Wiodruff has been our best pitcher since his return. But soon he’ll get fed up, too.
If our offense does’t stink, our manager passes away a win with inexplicable decisions.
That first 35 game, or so, stretch to start the season seems like so long ago.
I also agree with the sentiment that there’s no untouchable player on this roster. I don’t want to lose Burnes, Woodruff or Peralta, but a part of me wants to see those guys on a team that can support them. They deserve better.
