I've only been watching for 40 years.
I can't say that it's any worse than the 1975 team. Unfortunately, I can't say that it's any better either. Honestly, I'd say it's a toss-up between 1975, 2008, and 2010. Pick one. (And the '08 team had a lot of injuries, to starters.)
It's like trying to compare the 1971 and 2003 football teams. How can you distinguish grades of haplessness that far apart?
I will come out and say this now. I'm a better pitching coach than Butch Thompson.
