I agree. I can’t hate on Roberts. He’s getting his team to the playoffs. And I think every manager makes questionable calls during the playoffs. If the decision pays off, he’s a hero. If not, he’s a zero. But I don’t see any fire from the players. I remember when Gibson came in 1988. During Spring training, somebody pranked him. He blew up! He let it be known that he wasn’t there to f**k around. He was there to compete and win. I like Betts. I like Freeman. I’m sure they’re nice guys. But who’s bringing the fire?

I love Friedman, but I wonder about the fire sales that seem to happen with big name talent going somewhere else every offseason. It seems like they needed JT’s leadership, Trea Turner’s bat, Seaver’s energy. So many players gone who end up having amazing seasons with their new teams…what is being missed with them?
