April 16, 20224 yr Winning 1 run ballgames against good teams is very solid. Love the pitching so far.

April 17, 20224 yr Need to get first round bye. The two division winners with best record get byes. The third division winner plays first round with 3 wildcards teams

He's running more which is what I was begging for last year.He's trying to keep Abreu from hitting into the DPs. You cant argue about BP usage very much because overall, despite the new arms like Crick, Sousa,Banks, Severino and the guys we had last year Foster , Ruiz, Lopez, Bummer, Hendriks only Bummer is looking bad while Hendriks is just a little off. Graveman is looking nails. Some have said it seems like we are shifting more , though I have no idea if its true. There's probably shifting info located somewhere online. Starting pitching has been above average. We get the daily Leury and lineup construction complaints but the results are good so far. Actually really good especially the pitching staff which is kind of shocking given the new arms and injuries. For the 1st 8 games there's not much to cry about.
