Mustali is a nice player and Worth pedigree speaks for itself but you ignore that they don’t have a functioning academy.

TBU is a strong system but the Rowdies failure to build their own youth infrastructure meant over time they’d always be playing catch-up.

Very true.

It’s pretty inexplicable that Mark Briggs got hired by Birmingham instead of Tampa Bay. I don’t get that one.

At the very least, I believe that Birmingham got things going with Briggs before Tampa Bay had a chance to get started. Also not sure how much of a run the Rowdies made at him

It’s absently clear that the baseball people running the organization aren’t able to pivot without Lee Cohen or Neil Collins.

Every team in history has had highs and lows. Rowdies will come back from this set back. Tough year. Wish them a speedy recovery. 👍

Still unclear why Robbie Neilson was fired? And only 16 months after signing a multiyear contract?

The injuries are such a limiter. If everyone gets healthy, it should get better. If they won't be healthy soon, they should probably bring in a player or two.
