Am I wrong to think that not only do we have the worst bench,but now we are playing shorthanded by these injuries?

If this were hockey, we’d be defending the power play.

That's been Mo's "M.O." since he became GM.
He leaves his Managers a player shy way too many times.

Going several games too long with a short bench only to eventually put the guys on the IL.
This is a little dicier of a situation since you might theoretically have two regulars who can both be back Friday. But in the meantime they will have played two games with an incomplete team. The org has always erred way too much on the side of waiting injured guys out before making a roster move.

they have not only been bad with that, but also diagnosing and treating injuries in general. What was originally a sore back that was supposed to be 2 weeks turns into 3 months. on and on
