I probably don't have of much value to add, but that's never stopped me.......
Turned a corner? Not sure, but this week will tell us something. There's wide range of possible outcomes but I'm telling myself winning 3 games would be awesome, winning 2 is expected if we're really the team that I think/hope we are.
Jax? Better than he looks lately for sure, but maybe we need to better realize his limitations. There was one inning a while back where the announcers were highlighting that he had thrown approx 10 consecutive sliders over 2 or 3 batters. Seems weird to me that they weren't getting him to use speeds better.
Strangely I can't generate much vitriol toward the FO for the trades. You need to give something to get something usually. Decent, reliable/healthy starting pitchers are becoming unicorns. They don't make many Nolan Ryans these days.
Sure is nice to see some signs of life as of late.
