They could have been in on the deadline action and made a strong push for the playoffs but they sat back and watched and had a terrible stretch drive causing them to miss the playoffs. 2017 was the same sit back and watch attitude at the deadline with a team that was borderline playoff contention.
Treliving, or whomever, is just too timid to make bold moves at the right times.

Yup, we needed to do something...we were not good enough to be so complacent at the deadline. Also, I don't like the line of thinking that we will wait and see and then go from there. That is next year golf talk.
