    Do you REALLY think that what we have done so far has no likelihood of portending what we might do going forward? Do you REALLY think that half a dozen games worth of production by a few guys is more likely to foreshadow what is to come than better than half a decade of production by others? The only FACT in play here is that they didn't score many runs last year, haven't scored many thus far this year and have shown nothing to make us inclined to think they might going forward, two games of Joey Gallo notwithstanding.

    Just because they made some moves doesn't mean those moves will make them better. You say the players you expected to produce are not doing so. Are there players you did NOT expect to produce? Aren't all players expected to produce every year?

    The only thing that counts is the math. Fewer than 700 runs last year and on pace for fewer this year. In spite of an unsustainable start by Sano Lite.

    This team scored fewer than 700 runs last year and did little to fix the offense. Our best pitcher has thrown ONE inning because he hurt himself sleeping?

    Thru Game 5: +11

    Those thinking an electronic pitch calling system will lead to considerably less controversy will be sadly mistaken.

    Thru Game 4: -19

    Actually it's NOT easy to evaluate whether a pitch is a strike on TV. Mostly for one big reason. Take a look at where the the strike zone is on TV and then go read the rule book as to where the strike zone actually is. Not even close. Most batters, the top of the TV strike zone is below the batter's belt. This will do little to improve accuracy of strike calls.

    Duran used ONE inning in three days....
  13. dxpavelka
    Maybe the tide turns in game 3?

    I for one am ecstatic. I'll be tracking his pursuit of the team strikeout record all season.
  15. dxpavelka
    Gallo with more hits than strikeouts in your sim. Credibility gone.
  16. dxpavelka
    It would be a colossal mistake if anyone other than Duran is the closer. Almost as colossal as not giving him a shot to be the ace at the top of the rotation.
  17. dxpavelka
    It'll be better but not as much better as fans expect.
  18. dxpavelka
    Actually as of this moment nobody's played a game and we, along with everyone else are exactly the same as last year.
  19. dxpavelka
    You should absolutely care. But beware that until you see those improvements actually play out on the field you can only speculate that it APPEARS that they have improved the roster.
  20. dxpavelka
    Last I checked, the games aren't played on paper...
  21. dxpavelka
    They were unable to replace, via the farm, a corner outfielder that the fan base has deemed highly replaceable. Does not speak well of said farm.
  22. dxpavelka
    No, it shows how far we HOPE we've come. HOPE is not a strategy. The coming months will show how far we've come.
  23. dxpavelka
    Kepler is still being used because, even though he may not be what we hope for offensively, nobody else has done what's needed to take the spot away from him. Buxton is not being used defensively, NOW. That could change. As could someone else show enough stick to take away Kepler's spot. Hasn't happened yet.
  24. dxpavelka
    The key may well be whether Michael Taylor's bat produces more than whoever else may have been the DH. Even though the guys we rotated thru the DH spot last year, in the aggregate, posted numbers worthy of hitting in the top half of the lineup, last I checked Nelson Cruz is now Joe Ryan and Jim Thome is old. Real old.
  25. dxpavelka
    We were in first place for a hundred days last year. I'd think it wise to wait at least fifty this year before making any determinations as to whether this roster is better. What happens the next six months has a funny way of determining that.
