Can't be walking Martin Maldonado with this Astros lineup. That's your one break in the lineup.

They did and paid for it...Maldonado was crowding the plate, begging to get hit to force in the run, putcher should have challenged that weak hitter.

It sucked Cesar didn’t perform as expected the final two months (3 HRs, .608 OPS), but still made sense to try to fill a definite need. There weren’t many 2B available, IIRC, and the one many here were clamoring for was a bust (Adam Frazier) and more costly in terms of prospects.

Sometimes you gain power just by dropping mistakes, as they did by DFAing Adam Eaton and allowing better internal AAA options to play. If 2020 was a normal season, they hopefully would have done the same with Parrot and Mazara.

Not sure if they pursued a corner OF. I assume all funds and trade capital available for deadline upgrades were exhausted with the  Kimbrel and Cesar acquisitions.

A FO and scouting upgrade to better evaluate external MLB players is required to expect better results for FA and trade acquisitions. The Cubs scored a solid upgrade by snagging Houston’s guy for an Asst. GM spot last month.

You saw the root of it all through all the smoke.  Better analysis here than anywhere else.  

Last games of this WS being pitched by bullpens and Wunderkinds.  A far cry from us in '05.  Fried's established, but he's been a disaster the last two games.

Not that I don't relish in the Trashtros suffering, but it does frustrate the living hell out of me that literally every single acquisition made mid-season for the Braves pulled through for them, while it seemed like almost every single acquisition we made mid-season were duds. 

Tepera was really the only guy who did anything positive, Kimbrel and Hernandez were hot garbage.
