This Team Has Accepted Losing

This series wasn't about getting swept. It wasn't about the Tigers. It wasn't even about poor pitching. The recurring habit is organizational acceptance of losing baseball. Hobbs returns to this idea over and over again—not just bad execution, but a culture where the same mistakes are repeated with no urgency to correct them. He repeatedly points to passive management, pitchers being left in too long, missed opportunities offensively, and players never appearing to play with urgency.
