Only through the rest of the Central's futility is this not starting to look like a lost year. There's no guarantee that Ramirez even comes back at 100%.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Bingo.
I don't expect anything to change when he comes back. He's been injury prone in the past, so he isn't a lock to a) play at his best, or b ) to even be in the lineup on a consistent basis, and c) 2/3 of the lineup has been complete garbage and is showing no sign of making any adjustments to opposing pitchers. This kind of shitty approach (similarly to last year's disciplined approach by our main offensive weapons and the effect it had on the team) is contagious and it's spreading throughout the entire team. I've been searching for a silver lining here somewhere, and not a single position player on this team gives me any reason to stay positive long term. We're playing lifeless ball both on the road and now at home. It really is amazing to me that we're anywhere around .500, because we deserve to be much worse than that. MUCH worse.
I'm glad I wasn't home today to watch that crapfest.
