At the end of the day, these guys don't care. They get paid their $500K league minimum and most much more than that.
The fans are who lose at the end of the day. Why we get emotionally invested is beyond me. It's too painful to experience this year after year
Bingo. Some clubhouses just have leaders that are extremely competitive and some don't.
Are you telling me that you would do more at your job or try harder when your pay is already at a guaranteed price? Yeah right, you guys are still pretending it's the old days and some guys just compete as some immortality. They don't give a rats ass but will tell you different as no one wants to sign someone to their company if they can't bring in more revenue which means wins. They do just enough as you do at your job and nothing more.
What's amazing, regardless of what you are saying, a team who lost Cole to free agency, JV to injury, ZG kind of falling off in the second half made it to the World Series. Throw in losing your clear #1 for the year in the ALDS.
Throw in being getting blasted in games 2 and 3 in the ALDS and then winning 3 in a row without Lance throwing a pitch.
How does this team do this if they aren't competitors, fighters, and have leaders?
No one said they weren't competitors. They are currently losing to a team hungrier and more focused. At least with their club house leaders.
Who are their clubhouse leaders you keep talking about?
