Quote:I think his point is that no player is bigger than the team.  You can't have guys going off rogue doing what THEY think they need to do to achieve wins.  It's a team effort. 

 

Strange comment?  Maybe.  It depends on the framing of the question to be honest.  I think he's more or less asking fans to let the process play out this year.  The players trust the process will turn the team around.  We'll see at the end of the year whether that trust was warranted or not.

Perhaps that's what he meant. I know it has to be annoying for the players to feel they give it their all and then get bashed by the fans, I get that.

 

What's interesting is they all seem to genuinely still be completely bought in to what Gus is doing, which is out of the norm for a losing team after several seasons. Whatever Gus' ultimate fate, he does have a connection with his players and they seem to have the  want  to win, they've just not figured out how to win.
