2) Arenado (lack of offensive production at his salary)
3) Gorman and Walker ( haven't developed like was hoped for)
So the starter that has given up 4 runs or more in 4 of his 8 starts is the only consistent one?

Who's been more consistent than McGreevy?
McGreevy: 4+ runs in 4 of 8 starts
Gray: 4+ runs in 7 of 24 starts

Which one do you think is more consistent?
Who's not producing like a highly paid, shutdown ace on a consistent basis?

What does that look like?

Zack Wheeler is 6 of 24
Max Fried is 8 of 24
Garrett Crochet is 5 of 24
Framber Valdez is 7 of 24

2 of those are far off Gray’s 7 of 24 and Fried is above his.

He starts off with the most consistent. And then he shifts to well, factoring in money, when he’s proven quickly wrong.

1) Not giving Mo a POBO Emirates status to let him save face for his last year while telling him to do nothing, especially commenting other than generic pablum. (Let's face it the 'Our first second and third priorities are trading Nolan' was dumb as hell.)

2) Not realizing that our "best" players, Donnie and Burly are the 4th/5th, (probably 6th/7th) best players on a good team.

3) Letting BD3 have any say or comment on anything. He makes Gussie's kid, (The soccer fan) look brilliant.

Also, almost any comment above. What a cluster(bleep) this organization has become.
