Exactly what we deserved after the turd we laid in September. Big decisions loom. Most likely none of those decisions will be made.

8 years in a row of playoffs, 4 pennants, 2 rings, nothing to be ashamed of there. Some teams will go your whole lifetime without accomplishing half of that. Retool in the offseason and get healthy, and this team will be back on top next year.

Not even close. We knocked ourselves out

That's not what knocked us out of the playoffs.

It was the final nail, but y'all are both correct

A fucking hit batter with the bases loaded just knocked us out of the playoffs

Espada's shitty management of this team in the 2nd half had a lot more to do with it than a scrub Rangers reliever.

8 straight years in the playoffs was a good run.

Let's hope we're not looking at another 86-97 or 05-15 drought.  No reason it should be with the modern diluted playoffs.

Hopefully he and Smith can form solid OF corners for years to come

Corners? Cole is the CF moving forward. The OF next year should be Alvarez, Cole, and Smith. Then you have Meyers and Santana in their true roles as defensive replacements and part time players.

Pena(SS), Alvarez(LF), Paredes(2B), Correa(3B), Cole(CF). Altuve(DH), Walker(1B), Diaz(C), Smith(RF) should be your starting lineup and if healthy that lineup should play 90% of the games.

Now if you want to dump Walker and move Paredes to 1B and go get another 2B, preferably one that bats LH, that would work as well.

Start off by trading Yordan.

Yes, getting rid of our good players has gone so well the last few years

Yeah, let's make our injury prone power hitter the everyday LF. That's the ticket.

Well, we flipped Tucker for Paredes and Smith. I think we did pretty well with that trade. The problem is letting our good players leave for nothing, and fucking ourselves by signing over the hill QO guys which would cancel out our compensation from losing our good players.

Is Urias more terrible than I think?  Why is he not more of a viable option at 2B next year?

He is terrible as an everyday player.

Agree with everything in the first two sentences.

Which is why I'm not all that upset.
