Not a single ****ing thing has gone right for this team since game 7...

since game 7, we've lost:

 

MVP Candidate Anthony Rendon

NLCS MVP Howie Kendrick

Clutch hitter Asdrubal Cabrera

Clutch hitter (in the playoffs) Adam Eaton

Dependable relief from Doolittle

Playoff phenom Michael A Taylor

 

and we've gained

Josh Harrison (only positive)

Josh Bell

Kyle Schwarber

A forever-injured Strasburg

Inconsistent Corbin

Unknown old-man Lester

Always injured Will Harris

 

we were doomed to fail

What's really killed us is our awful drafting and developing. Since 2012, when we drafted Giolito: Erick Fedde, Carter Kieboom, Dane Dunning, Seth Romero, Mason Denaburg, Jackson Rutledge, and Cade Cavalli.

 

Jury is still out on the last three--but only Cavalli is showing right now. Rutledge hasn't been sharp in his few starts, and Denaburg has thrown about 4 pitches in his professional career. Kieboom is a bust, Fedde will be a long-reliever, Dunning is on his 3rd organization, Romero is a bust. Further more, we've gotten nothing from late round picks in years. We need to hit on this year's pick(s). We've done well in the international market-we're also linked to next years top prospect Cristian Vaquero--but our talent there is 2-3 years off, at least.

can't wait too long to decide if something needs to be done about your hitting coaches. 2 runs a game isn't acceptable. On the closer question. after the other blown saves, I was expecting Hand to go on the IL for some fake injury like shoulder tightness.

 

waiting for things to workout isn't a strategy.
