Don't expect a 1 year turn around in run production

[Rainman66]

You can literally take nothing away from this weekend, other than, we will be very good defensively and starting rotation has much higher upside than last year.

Can not believe we’re already doing this crap...

So we can not take anything away from this weekend ... unless it looked positive?

We have all watched and/or played a lot of baseball in our lives, and pitching and defense can take you very far, no doubt. However, it leads to a lot of stressful innings on your staff, which does take a toll.

I expect our hitting to get better and our team to be much, much better in the last 1/3 or 1/4 of the season.

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. We learned very little about our team this weekend.

None of us have played baseball under the circumstances these guys just went through.

I recommend watching Deggs from press he did today.

Thanks for posting. He explains it all very well with an insider's perspective on hitting situations

I think it might be a blessing to struggle in week 1 these kids can relax a bit and play ball without having to worry about lofty expectations

Agreed, this team needs to PLAY. Too much time off, means more time to think. Just need to let their natural ability take over and think less right now.

Well, they have a perfect week for that - a day off then two midweek games.

Like a lot of folks I jumped the gun and was overly critical of the teams play this weekend. After hearing Deggs press conference today I’m that much more excited about the remainder of the season. He really explains the situation and circumstances well. I’m optimistic that once these guys get that first win they will settle down and play some great baseball.

Wait...we're not going to OMAHA this year as promised by Deggs...then again Tony was promising the same thing for the last 20 years... WHAT A JOKE!!!!
