Yeah we knew the rotation was going to be solid going into this season. And we knew the bullpen was going to be potentially problematic.
April was a mirage and casuals like JF54 were trying to say the rotation was crap.
Manoah and Gausman have been betting than expected, Berrios and Ryu worse than expected, ans Kikuchi about as expected. Stripling was great in his short stint with Ryu on the DL.
I expect Gausman to regress a bit like he did 2nd half last year, Berrios should get a lot better and Ryu is going to hold his own. Kikuchi looks promising his last few starts. Manoah has continued his great performance from last season, though I’m not sure I expect him to keep this pace.
Offense will definitely be better going forward. Easier schedule too. This will be a fun and competitive summer.
