Stop the hat already

Who said thats the teams mentality? I'm just saying that stopping the celebration won't change the results except I guess give some fans some assurance that the team isn't happy with their performance

Cali said that’s their mentality. Pay attention.

Thank you. I appreciate this very much. Also your opinion is wrong. 

Lol…I almost wrote the same thing for you.

The hat is the only thing left that brings the players joy.

Kind of disturbing that the players aren't embarrassed by the hat thing.

That’s not remotely true. They can work on their skills and get better. Again. This isn’t a little league team. They get paid to be in the best at what they do. 

By meaningful I meant in terms of standings. I agree about player development though

I have no idea but it certainly isn’t your thought of “we suck so let’s celebrate meaningless home runs”. 

But that is EXACTLY what they're doing? Are you that hard headed?

You have no idea what their mentality is but you want to tell me what we're all seeing is incorrect.  

Once again Strad, you add absolutely nothing to the conversation but tell everybody they're wrong.

Not much has gone right this season and they are out of it so I don’t have issue if the guys find the hat fun. 

Truly competitive athletes don’t take joy in moral victories when they are getting beat badly in a game and the season is going down the tubes.

I'd say it goes without saying that these guys are working on things daily.

You guys are arguing about a hat.

Ok. Sorry I hurt your feelings telling you how fucking dumb it is to think they way you think.

Certainly doesn't show when they're still doing the same things that created a 14 game losing streak. 

It would be great to know what you see that shows they're working on things when they can't get a basic sac fly with a RISP and nobody out.

They have much more to be embarrassed by. The strikeouts should be one of those things

They need to compete. At the end of the day, they are either playing for their current jobs or are playing to get another job on another team.

No shit. It’s so fucking dumb. Us fans are upset about the performance so we bitch about really stupid shit like that stupid shit matters.

So you're saying they have no shame.

I’m sure they are…but at what point do they see results from that, assuming that they are working on the things that got them into this mess.

Ewww you agreed with cals…that’s like being buddies with Jared from subway. It’s just bad PR

[T.G.]

I think the hat thing has run its course. If that’s complaining… so be it.

The hat thing is something you do at Grandpa's 75th birthday. Normally you expect young people to be cooler.

Well he’s right. And while he’s kind of a dick (with all due respect) he’s also pretty smart.

They should be embarrassed by all of it and dumping the hat is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to mentalities in the clubhouse that need to change until they win.
