and the team simply being competitive and not appearing disinterested with adversity.

We could go 6-6 (or worse) and if it appeared the team was playing hard, tough, and competitive and just coming up a bit short I would be more than happy at this point in his tenure. For me, it's more about how we are losing (getting blown out and appearing disinterested at times)

I'm not a fire Fuente guy, but he needs to make some changes that show up on the field of play. Something is amiss with consistent player effort and passion.
