Consistent starting pitching is what’s needed the remainder of the year. We have gotten to the point offensively that we can be serviceable. Coach Wells has done a great job with these guys to get this offense on track the last 10-15 games. But it starts on the bump. We gotta be good on the mound in order to compete. The silver lining is the young guys have been thrown into the fire before some were ready and hopefully they get better with time. I still think we can upgrade the talent at some positions
He's taking things out of context in order to sell his point. .600 in itself is not bad baseball. That's 100 wins in a major league baseball season. It serves his narrative because missing postseason doesn't. The goal is to make postseason, plain and simple. It all goes back to the "Status Quo" thread during the offseason. In 25 years, we are still talking about how we haven't missed postseason 3 years in a row. Sounds like the definition of status quo rather than improving over a quarter century. At what point to we expect not to miss 2 years in a row? Not miss postseason? That would be improvement over time. Can't win a title unless you're in the tournament. Chances of winning a title reduce exponentially when you aren't consistently there.
31 games since the 1-7 start. We've gone 18-13 (.581). And nothing shows that we'll eventually get over the .500 hump for the season. The next 11 games on the schedule are the toughest 11 on the schedule; 8 of them are away from home.
We’re not MLB. Those teams have a common draft. In college sports there’s not nearly the balance of power. There’s more dynasty programs. Then high quality competition. Then the rent a win teams. We’re not waiting to become one of the rented.
Apparently none of you have ever had to clean ___ out of a bed, which is more his point I believe.
Oh, and since I started this thread by reporting something I believe to be a positive, let me follow that up with we will be signing more players in the period coming up.
