Nevin acknowledged that all of this drama surrounding Ohtani’s sore oblique is frustrating and confusing for fans.
“I know fans come to see him, especially when we’re at home,” Nevin said. “I get that frustration. Absolutely.”
What about the frustration of getting our asses kicked every year?
I guess that’s not on the menu.
Take a look at the Red Sox, who recently fired Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom and what they had to say about their situation in Boston.
"The decision was not made lightly or easily," team president and CEO Sam Kennedy read from a prepared statement before his news conference. "We all know where we are in the standings. It's a painful reality that fans feel as deeply as we do. Our fans deserve a winning, competitive team that consistently plays postseason baseball."
"It's hard to say it's not related to results because that's what this is all about," Kennedy said. "We're aiming for World Series championships. That's it. That's the aim, that's the goal. We're here to win World Series championships. While we're here, we're not going to waste this opportunity. That's what the Boston Red Sox are all about."
This is a far cry from what Nevin seems to “get.” And Minassian.
Not even a mention about the teams record. No apologies to the fans for the product the Angels have put on the field.
Cry me a river about the injuries. Whatever.
Can you see the differences between these two organizations and what is acceptable and what is unacceptable?
As I write this, the Red Sox are 74-72 and heads are already starting to roll.
