Odd, vanishing graphics.

Hooray, brand new season!

How’d we do for April?

Well, I can probably answer that with a single image.



Really nothing else you can say about it. The starters just got shelled, and shelled again, and shelled again. All five of them, every single one has an ERA of 6+

That kind of beating is just simple brutality.

If you paid any attention to last season, you know that our five guys are generally excellent pitchers. It’s not a right hand thing, it’s not a left hand thing, it’s not anything but a good, old-fashioned ass-whuppin. Shelled at home, shelled on the road, shelled by RHB, shelled by LHB.

Homers aren’t abnormally high, nor walks. Straight up every bat boy at every ball park is getting base hits. Yep, OBA is over .300 for every starter.

Everyone got in on the fun. Your grandma probably got hit three base hits every game.

Def eff? Zone rating? Nope, you can’t blame the defense boys, this is all on you.

Summon the team surgeon, we’re gonna need five Tommy John surgeries.

The bullpen, meanwhile, is again on cruise control. They are not hanging fastballs dead center of the plate–they’re wondering what all the fuss is about.

And calling their agents to negotiate bigger contracts.

Meanwhile, on the offensive side…meh.

Not too bad, I’ve seen it worse. Not too good, we’ve seen it better.

Overall 11-15 (.423). We’re ahead of one of the teams in this division! Oof, what kind of year is HE having?

In summation, chalk it up as “one of those months,” and wait for the pain to stop.
