3 one run losses in San Fran.

This place is always a house of horrors.

Can't disagree with you. They sure have been stinking it up.

There are at least 6 guys getting regular PT that are worse than the guys we have in Springfield. So at least that'll be different if there's baseball next year.

I feel good about the offense next year. They were top 5 in the league this season if you go by the top 5 slots in the lineup. Bernal looks solid and Baez looks promising even if he's got some flaws, so that should extend that further. Still need a better answer in CF, and any answer at 3B, but otherwise I think they're pretty well set. Or at least within an acquisition or two of being set. There's a longer term issue of how to handle Herrera/Rodriguez but that's no big deal.

Pitching still seems like kind of a mess. Some bright spots. Pallante, and now Graceffo and Leahy have all surprised me. McGreevey at least seems reliable. Maybe Hjerpe pans out. Lots of hopium involved.
