“The work being done on the field to construct a normal, well-adjusted franchise with a roster that can win games and an offense that can score points and just overall be a team that isn’t nationally considered to be the laughingstock of the league is mirrored just over the fence and…..well, I’ll just let Canales explain the metaphor.

“I think for us, just in this mode with the limited amount of time we’re out there, the one field is perfect right now,” he said. “You know, there’s nothing to remind you that progress is being made like the ‘beep, beep’ [of trucks backing up], but good stuff’s happening.”

It may be too obvious of a metaphor, but sometimes when you’re rebuilding, it looks pretty dusty for a bit.”
