Such is life for an 80-85 win team. Hope to beat up on the bad teams, Lose most series to the best teams. Try to split with the other .500 teams. As much as I try to see the upside in every player, the truth is this is a .500-ish team with on paper slightly above average pitching and horribly inconsistent hitting, with enough shakiness on defense to never allow you to be comfortable. In previous years that was good enough for the AL Central. Not so much anymore. It’s just how this year is going to be.
