Lol they'll have finished up their entire slate of games against the Orioles before we even start.

I think we will be ok.

 

-Bullpen is regressing but I still think it will be a decent bullpen, probably league average with potential for more.

-I'm still confident that the Offense will regress to the mean and will be at least a Top 10 offense by season's end.

-Rotation looks to be pretty good even though some kinks need to be worked out. So even though Gausman won't be THIS good all year we will probably see better versions of Berrios, Ryu, etc.

-The bench looks like s*** but remember Espinal is so damn good now that he's no longer a part of that unit. Getting Jansen back will mean no more Hiney-man (bc he's cheeks, get it?) and less of the other bats like Tapia so that will help too.

 

Also:

We are 17-14 with one of the hardest schedules played to date and one of the easiest schedules remaining. I'm never optimistic about a trip to the Trop but the pitching matchups look great and then the schedule REALLY opens up for some wins. Just flip through it really quickly and you'll see loads of games against the Orioles, NL Central, etc. and it basically starts on Monday and lasts the rest of the ENTIRE year. Seriously just look at it it's crazy. Unless the Red Sox get it going it doesn't really look like we'll face back-to-back series against winning teams on the road from here on out.

 

Compare this "annoying" start to their mediocre 2021 start.... in 2021 in the first 31 games they:

 

- lost a series to Texas

- lost a series to the Angels

- lost 3 out of 4 to the Royals

- split a 2 gamer with the Nationals

- split a 4 game series with Oakland

 

In 2022 the only real series-level fumble they've had is Cleveland. It's that + a couple of tough series against the Yankees including two one run losses.

 

Looks so much better if you look at it series by series.

 

I've been saying this all along, Pffftt...

During this tough early season schedule we also played TWENTY games in a row at one point. Absurd.

 

The most the MLB allows, lol. Now we have 2 days off in a week. Derp!

ChiSox picking it up. And I actually like it when they play the Orioles because they are burning through all their games against them for one, and two it's interesting to keep an eye on the series because anything short of a 2-1 or 3-1 series win is a setback. Orioles winning just one game a series is all it takes to basically consider it a series spit for the Yanks. Orioles winning 2 of 3 and it's like the Yanks are getting swept. Sort of.

Tell em, coach!

 

Does everyone know the story of how Spanky got his nickname. He got caught beating off in his middle school bathroom to a Sears catalogue (long time ago obviously) and the name stuck. He disclosed that to the board 15+ years ago but won’t own up to it now. Pusso.

This really isn't much of a denial you know....:P

 

It's Spanky from The Little Rascals. Although, I'll admit I tugged one out quite a few times to that catalogue. :D

Dude, you're bullshitting, but we all know about your A) Bought a bride from Slovenia or whatever that failed miserably and you slept on your couch for years... B) Micheal Anthony Hall banged your wife that led to divorce... C) Said you'd have no remorse for killing someone if the money was right... Shall I go on, you sociopathic psycopath?!
