Heliot Ramos defended manager Bob Melvin amidst criticism from fans, asserting that outside opinions are uninformed. While some fans demand to see more passion from Melvin, Ramos emphasized that players know the realities of their struggles. Other players, like Matt Chapman, expressed regret for the lack of success at home and acknowledged the unwavering support of the fans. Chapman stated that regardless of performance, fans continue to show up, highlighting the team's responsibility to improve for their loyal supporters.
Outside people don't know anything. That's the type of person he is. That doesn't mean that he's not a great manager. When we were winning, everybody was on our side, now it's like all the fans are against us and all that. I don't get it. We're here and we know what's going on, we know what we're feeling, we know what we're working for, but fans are going to be fans, we can't do nothing about it.
Obviously, we haven't been able to get much going, especially at home, and I feel bad for our fans because they come out here and they support us every single night. They pay their own money to come see us, and we haven't been playing good baseball for them.
I mean, we have 40,000 people here, we don't give 'em anything to root for the entire game.
