Doug, for me its more like, what's more important at this point? The next two months, or the next two years? We are six years into the pretty much dull, brutal Farhan era. What's another two months to use it letting the kids play, fail, try again, and hopefully get better at the major league level? I'd much rather watch that for two months than Canha, Conforto, Yaz, Flores, Ray or even Snell play with the crazy hope they will be going anywhere in the post season.....IF they could leap frog four teams and get the third wild card.

I have found it helpful for my mental health to consider the Farhan Experience as about saving the organization money while putting out a "just good enough that games are fun just often enough" team. When the team Chairman says the goal of the ball club is "to just break even" THAT is what sucks.
As you pointed out in a previous post, the Soler signing was a way to goose ticket sales when they were panicking about whether they would land Matt Chapman (only a 1-year deal!?!) and try to get the narrative of the season into something other than "We probably should've signed Correa when we had the chance" .
Anyway, let us run riot on the soft underbelly of the remaining schedule and get into the playoffs on cussedness and hopefully a very large man from the DR mashing the ball into the bay like it owes him money.

Of course, your mileage may vary.
Well said, Maestro!
