Well, what else are we supposed to say during the season? Every season looks like this:
1) We load up on as many utility outfielders as we can. Guys that can hit around .255 with 7 dongs.
2) We have a really good, young team that can do damage.
3) A starting infielder is hurt for a significant amount of time during spring training
4) We start out something like 15-30
5) We win 30 games in a row to bring us close to playoff contention.
6) We lose a bunch of 2-1 games with the help of our superior pitching and downright awful offense. We fall out of contention.
7) Better luck next year. We have a great team, but they're young and inexperienced, but they will do damage in the future.
8) Rinse and repeat every year.
Billy Beaner love em fragile players.
I'm going to thoroughly enjoy watching this team lose this year.
