I'm obviously surprised and disappointed at the offensive ineptitude. I'm very disappointed in the defense, although Donaldson, Buxton and Simmons missing time hasn't helped. Moreso, though, the defense has been awful most every day, physically and mentally. But the bullpen has performed just about as I had expected. Not deep, not powerful, not dependable. Spare parts, reclamation projects, "slider specialists" That, IMO, was always going to be a problem.
