That's the nature of the internet, and the vast majority of people who spend time on it. They don't want to read or hear information that does not confirm what they think they know. An ignore list should rarely be used, and only in the most extreme cases. If you have a long ignore list, it says more about you that it does anyone else.
On the subject, I'm still on the fire Gulutzan bandwagon. Nothing has changed with any significance. Same problems still exist, but they are masked by a winning streak. We'll see how Gulutzan and his staff react to the next loss or cluster of losses. We'll see how prepared the team is when they come off the five day break, and whether they slide back to the team they were before the break. We'll also see what the take is when players start coming back off of IR, and decisions have to be made about personnel. Do the players that were key in the surge, and brought so much life to the lineup, continue to play, or do the injured guys just slide right back into the lineup and the young guys get dispatched to the minors. I'm skeptical that anything has changed because of a stick throwing incident. Proof will be when a tough decision has to be made by the guys behind the bench. If the team continues to play well, they look ready out of the gate, and players who haven't played well for the past two seasons get the treatment they deserve rather than a contributing player with waiver eligibility, then I'll buy in and give Gulutzan support. I am still not convinced he has made any changes that has caused the latest good fortune.
