2.5 games out of the wild card, 4.5 out of the divisional lead, with 82 games to go.
Much of the mainstream discourse about the team is an outrage contest about lineup optimization and/or constant bed-wetting about needing to send half the club down and bring up people who have never seen a lick of MLB action.
Some of coming from people who promised to swear off the club because their mascot was retired.
Man, its not just MLB which has a hard time marketing the game. Its becoming more obvious that the fan culture itself is not built for lengthy seasons and anything other than instant gratification.
Rough. The team not playing well seems magnified far more than the previous run they were on before it, same as it ever was.
