The team is 2-3, starting the year on the road against some tough teams. The sky is not falling. I agree that the batting line-up doesn't look improved from last year, but the negativity around the team already is tiresome. Baseball is weird, so there shouldn't be any big reactions early on.

Agreed, sky is not falling. However the results so far should not be un-expected.
Pitching is the strength
As for the hitting, same concerns exist from last season.
i.e. lineup will be very inconsistent.
