00:00David Stearns actually did, Evan, is put together a disparate group of players
00:05who don't really know each other well, who don't work together well.
00:10Again, this is baseball, so it doesn't matter.
00:11It's a team individual sport, as we all know.
00:15But it feels like there is no glue holding this team together.
00:20There's nothing that says, I'm going to get this hit or make this play for you.
00:27We're doing this together.
00:29It feels like a bunch of individuals led by a man who doesn't have a plan.
00:33And I'm not talking about even David Stearns.
00:35You've been at midnight for a minute now because I heard you.
00:38But this is really on Mindy.
00:42Their manager goes into every game, I think, guessing about what's going to be the catalyst
00:49to put this team over.
00:51Now, part of that is probably because what other answers can he have?
00:55He can't just say, all right, well, Bo Bichette's going to get this done for me, or Lindor is
01:00going to get this done for me, or Francisco Alvarez is going to get this done for me.
01:04It just feels like he's out of options.
01:07And so the only thing he can do is, all right, let's see if this works.
01:11I'm going to pinch hit Luis Terrens in the sixth inning.
01:15That'll be fantastic.
01:15You know what, Beatty?
01:16You've been struggling a little bit.
01:17I'm going to put you down as well.
01:18And by the way, it's fantastic in the thought process, but when it comes back around and
01:25you now trail by two runs in the ninth inning, you got feckless at-bats.
