Am I the only one that can't stand the sight of Altuve, Bregman or Tucker?  Something about each one of them just pisses me off.

I think it’s way early to throw in the towel but I’m not optimistic that this year’s team can over-perform in a short series.  We need at least two reliable starters at a minimum and absent that, I really would prefer not to potentially rob from next years team or waste trading chips that could be used later.   
 

I’ve been withholding judgement but I’m now agreeing with @Wulaw Horn-resigning Brantley at $12m was dumb.  That money should have been spent on a starter.

What's the consensus on the cause of Brown's terrible starts? I've rarely seen a guy alternate such a high K rate with multi-hit innings the way he has lately. Is it a matter of control? Maybe a second-time-through-the-order issue? Tipping pitches? I'll hang up and listen.

Maldonado sucks at everything including game calling.

The concept of this team was just awful from the beginning. Why do you have a team with only 4 lefty hitters, one of which has been injured every year he's been in the majors and another is the one of the worst players to be in the majors, and a third coming off major shoulder surgery that you should have known was never going to play this season.

We need 2 bats, a starter, and a high leverage guy. I doubt we have the necessary capital to make that happen without destroying our already shallow minor league system.
