Cranford deserved a legitimate opportunity IMO, but it may be too late for that now.

True.
But this is also 2 fold. Some of JT’s errors have been on Tre’… there’s been a few easy picks that Tre has missed.
I hate threads like this though…

I think we all can see that JT’s problem is definitely mostly mental. So nonstop criticism and threads like these bashing him, they just make the pressure that he’s already struggling with, worse. It’s clear CJJ is not going to make a change at this point, so what good does continuously bitching do? I get that everyone should be able to voice their frustrations, and criticism to an extent is necessary. When it comes to Jt, we've passed that point of helpful criticism though…

Nobody can tell me otherwise. He should not be playing anymore. He can’t make routine plays. He is in his head. We all see it. He is scared the ball is going to be hit to him. Bregs made errors but wanted to make the highlight plays sometimes is why imo.

How many are fielding and how many were throwing?

15 in the score book, about 30 in the “he should’ve made that play” column.

He’s been absolutely terrible.

Edit: Not to mention his first baseman is absolutely ridiculous. If it were any 1st baseman besides Morgan he was throwing to, the number would be significantly higher. Seems like EVERY throw Morgan has to make a great play to save Thompson’s arse.

And please don't say Bianco.


Why not? He is more reliable on the routine throws. At this point Thompson’s range and arm are just creating more free bases.

Just platoon Bianco and Cranford… the stubbornness is giving me Miles/JJ flashbacks.

We’re going to bitch until a change is unavoidable.
