Triston Casas' injury has thrown the team's strategy into disarray, prompting a collective overreaction that obscures the primary issue: their star first baseman is sidelined for the year. While there's a tendency to nitpick decisions and lay blame as reactions unfold, the article argues that the core problem remains unchanged. The best immediate solution is for Devers to step in at first base, which should help stabilize the team amidst the turmoil. The emphasis is on recognizing and adapting to the new reality without getting caught up in secondary conflicts or grievances.
Shit happens, happened and is happening, and there's a lot of hand-wringing about who has done what wrong in a situation where there's no good way to be right.
The simplest solution here remains the best one, and that Devers should play first base because it would help the team of which he is a part.
If everyone is fucking up in some way in response, and they are, it's only because they're all being forced to eat shit sandwiches and no one is handling it well.
It's only a loss that translates to disaster if we become distracted by point-scoring on second-order issues.
