Reds/Giants game is on TV today, delayed because of bees so some excitement there to kick off the week. 

the giants probably wish it would have been delayed a little longer considering the reds got 5 runs in the first inning

But then we may not have this fun factoid:

So glad the Indians traded Yandy Diaz for Jake Bauers.  Definitely don't need a good RH bat in this lineup. 

The Edwin trade is also looking outstanding.

It's honestly baffling to see how this team is struggling. I mean, just because Paul Dolan came out and said "Enjoy him while you can" about Lindor, basked in the glory of intentionally refusing to pay superstars, and dumping over $20 million of salary this year, all while "competing for a World Series"...it's strange to see why they don't look like contenders. Pay no attention to the woeful offensive output not seen since 1910, it must be an outlier.

Team wRC+ is 67.  Rotation, bullpen, and defense is all top 5 in baseball right now while the offense is 29th.  Ramirez should come around but there really isn't anyone else that's under performing by a lot.  The offense just sucks outside of 3 players.

Hence my comment to end what I said above:

But, it's pretty obvious to everyone that we KNEW that it would be awful outside of those 3-5 players. They need 2-3 more bats in the lineup to even smell contention. No one questions the horses. I question the AA and AAA level bats in the lineup.

Agreed with everything you're saying, it's just a shame they're pretty much punting away our last year(s) with Lindor.

Splitting the difference on blowing it up/rebuild/contending is a horrific idea. They need to either nuke it and rebuild or make a run. It's egregious.
