Is that a pic of Bregman?

This is the worst loss of the season. We still inexplicably have everything to play for despite sitting on our dat asses all off season and basking in the glory of one championship when we instead could have been trying to defend our title and show the league we're not a one hit wonder.
It's not CY's fault that Bally didn't follow thru on their commitment. It's not CY's fault that grant ****ing Maton somehow almost permanently disfigured Josh Jung on the field in the 4th game of the season. It's not CY's fault that Evan Carter's back gave out again. It's not CY's fault that Langford looked like an all star in spring training and is still taking forever to figure it out. It's not CY's fault that Scherzer's body gave out on him.
All of the above ****ing sucks and it's extremely unlucky. We've actually had terrible injury luck for the last 2 seasons despite winning the World Series in one of those 2.
However……….
Nearly every position player's production is way way down compared to last year and we brought pretty much nearly all of these guys back.
I wish we could quit filling out the lineup card for this year based on what happened last year. When is this year going to factor into the equation?
I'll forever be grateful to Bochy and these boys for bringing us a title, but this title defense has to be one of the most disappointing in history given the expectations for the season coming in.

Worst trade ever. Dodgers stuck to their guns and gave us nothing of value then turned around and used Darvish 3 games out of 7 in the World Series that same year. It didn't work out for them, but they clearly thought high enough of his talents to give him those starts and we got fleeced.bmac_aggie18 said:Hearne_Ag said:They did it for Yu ❤️ pic.twitter.com/xbdJuKJYjR

Still pissed we got Willie Calhoun
That's the one thing I couldn't stand about JD.DannyDuberstein said:
It was just a **** year to have to make a trade. No real races so no buyers or bidding war. You could already see it shaping up 1-2 months out from the deadline that it was going to be lean. They could have kept him and let him walk in free agency for nothing, i guess.

In years we were competing, everyone was buyers and the prices were sky high
In years we were rebuilding, prospects suddenly became liquid gold overnight and teams hoarded them with reckless abandon. Teams would almost rather lose in the playoffs then give up a good young player.
