I like Rob Thomson but it's very clear he didn't properly prepare this team to start the season. I can't and won't blame the WBC, those guys should be more than ready to swing the bat. These pitchers didn't ramp up enough, the main lineup didn't play enough games. I constantly found myself questioning who we were seeing in the lineups and on mound. Too many guys who weren't coming North.

Its a good argument. Why did Thompson play so many minor leauge guys when he knew he had to get the starters acclomated tot he ptich clock? You can see everyone is fatigued already.
I am not panicking four games in but to get the shit kicked out of you three out of four losses already is concerning.
