Shortly after it took place and just shook my head. Not only was he applying theory as if it were fact, large samples as if they apply evenly to each 1. It sounded like he was saying "Ackley was a top 5 pick that came up quickly and took forever to improve, so Zunino seems likely to do the same." The list of differences between the 2 is so long that there's really no reason I would compare that pair. More like contrast. But on big blog he's using a sample size of 1 plus some half understood or wholly made up study without a link and it doesn't get panned? Those are all things that weren't OK before I got booted for not agreeing exclusively on that site. Now that just goes largely ignored? Derek or Dave pouncing and dispelling that bs before others start repeating it was preferable to the state that's left now. This is what happens when only "yes men" are allowed to comment.
On the depth of roster? The rotation situation is the weirdest I can recall. Relying on guys who either missed a lot of time to injury or are approaching new single season highs for IP everywhere except for Felix. Then there's Wilhelmson. The pitching could actually improve over the stretch, not that I'm saying that's my expectation. It could go either way.
I think the offense is actually at a point where we could see different guys producing every night. Once Saunders returns I count 11 guys on offense that are fully capable of having a big game. The defense has been surprisingly solid. Like, what do you mean, league leading? How did that happen?
As a fan I can see they're not afraid of any opponent anymore. I'm not either.
