Message: [QUOTE="Deepster, post: 5304878, member: 25"] No doubt this streak is a concern. No doubt the lack of anything near an ace on the staff is a concern. And the "guts" of the team past 1-2-3 in the order looks awful right now (Taylor, Acuna, Vientos, etc). 1) Senga should be back soon. He was leading the NL in ERA most of the first half. You cross your fingers on Manaea. But just for argument's sake, let's say he's able to pitch like we hope in August/September. 2) I'm still confident in Garrett, Stanek and Diaz. Live or die with Brazoban and Butto in spots. Maybe make a trade for Aroldis Chapman. 3) I can't believe there's criticism on Lindor. Hasn't he earned the trust and confidence yet? 4) Lastly? I do believe in Mendy. I think we got our Terry Francona type who's going to be a really, really good one. And if I am going to be a pollyanna? Hopefully the streak finally kills Frank the Tank with a massive coronary. [/QUOTE]
