What happened
The week opened kindly — 6-4 over Milwaukee, a fanbase briefly warm about Marshy — and then closed its fist. Milwaukee took the next two, 1-4 and 1-5, and the turn came in Tampa's 0-2 shutout, where the only instruction left was "STOP FUCKING SWINGING AT EVERYTHING." The 1-12 followed like a receipt. One poster said this team has "no heart," another simply enjoyed no season less. Sunday's 7-3 made it 88-74, and somebody still insisted on "THE DRIVER'S SEAT.
What fans said
“this team has *no* heart. None. Pedro Martinez was 100% right to call this team out.”

“A true mark of his success would be looking at the successful offensive prospects he's developed, or long-term turnarounds he's manufactured. Which don't really exist, because he sucks.”
