20 season was too messed up. I know anything can happen in 1 gm but TB was vastly superior to us last year. Even if we won the wild card gm i just didnt think we had the horses to go further.

 

I feel like this year we are there or at least much closer with a chance to make some in season moves. Emergence of Vladdy and adding Springer are major upgrades.

 

A fixed Robbie Ray along with whatever pitcher we get at the deadline may be the biggest additions. Offense can only get us so far, as we've seen in the recent past.

and Matz also!...a lot better than we (well, me!) thought he would be so far!...lets see if they can carry it through season long!

Agree that offense can only get a team so far. Our D isn't that solid which doesn't help. Our biggest weakness is pitching obviously. Ray has been great for $8mm and his BB totals have been a shocking turnaround, but he still is giving up a ton of bombs when he misses up and hangs. He has lucky few on base for most part. Ryu showed last night what a true quality start can do for a team. That was awesome and nice to see only 2 innings for the pen. Dolis looked good. I wasnt concerned they gave him some work given how long he was off.

 

Matz looked quite a bit better the last couple starts. More aggressive in with his fastball again.

 

If our O is what we hope it will be with Springer back, I think mgm will add quality arm(s). LAD don't look quite as invincible as ordained WS ring winners right now.
