Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1537019, member: 2585"] My god. It's ancillary to the larger point. I almost didn't include it because it wasn't a strong point. If I'd known it would have caused a stir I wouldn't have freaking wrote it. It doesn't matter if they were stronger or on par: the point remains. Expecting the same results when the very thing that made us explosive left was and is pure fantasy. 2013 was always going to be a drop in production even with Marrone/Hackett because of their failure to replace the skill players well enough. But they all left. Continuity in offense was always a pipe dream. Shafer made it worse by hiring McBubble. [/QUOTE]
