Snakebit? More like devoured by a nest of vipers.
Actually, most of what has befallen our hometown nine isn’t really bad luck. It’s either by design–assembling a landfill of a roster in the name of rebuilding–bad managing, bad execution or, in the case of Olivera, just plain revolting behavior.
CB contends that Olivera’s arrest for allegedly beating up a woman, combined with his hitting .245 with little power and a sub-.300 OBP as a Brave, officially makes the trade a bust. It’s hard to argue otherwise. Whatever becomes of Wood and Peraza is beside the point now.
