Great article! You have more fortitude that I do. I find myself switching off the game for purposes of my emotional health when they start playing really badly (which sadly seems so to be so often this year after a good start). Here is my question - why do you think that MJ Melendez is being left behind? It seems he is doing as good as Witt and Pratto at AA, but he did not make the Futures Game or the Omaha promotion.
Obviously I don't know Singer personally, but boy does he come across as kid that was never told no. Just no accountability in this organization whatsoever. If he doesn't want to throw his change up, either tell him you're not going to shake off the sign or you can go to Omaha and figure it out. I just don't understand the entitlement from him. He hasn't done enough in his short career to be able to dictate what pitches he throws or doesn't throw. Can it get any worse than losing to Matt Harvey?
I like that you actually, out-loud, said that you like Gallgher because I don't feel like he gets much credit sometimes. I like him as a person (as much as I can say only having talked to him twice for a few minutes at a time) and as a player. Is he an All-Star? No, but you don't get to see a whole lot of play time when you're backing up a dude like Perez. Now, I wouldn't mind seeing Gallagher behind the dish and Perez at DH a little more often when you consider our... other choices.
