I get people are saying that the team should be better than last year just by luck and variance and all that but on paper, no this team is not better going into this year than it was last year.

I think the pitching is going to be significantly worse

Yeah, the teams no 1 and number 2 starter aren't looking very good.

Literally has nothing to do with going off Spring Training stats or anything like that.

Yeah, we even had the surprises of Crochet and Fedde.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if they're chasing their record they just set to the last week of the season.

Holy cow, those OPS from last year are jaw dropping 

Sox turn, 1 pitch 1 out lol

Nope. Made this comment in the offseason. But sure, if they win 50 games throw a fuckin party.

Awful looking swings by Vargas.  Bo fluidity at all

Not as good as the Rangers 30+ minute inning but at least a couple guys made contact.  Vargas is still clueless at the plate.

you wouldn't really think it, but you have to think it. They are going to suck, but I'm not putting anything into these February games. No one is where they are supposed to be yet.

That added muscle will just make his strikeouts look better.

Agreed. We'll see who makes the staff for opening day and who is there in July.

wtf is going on here, Smith is back in?

One of those spring training resets with the number of pitches in an inning.

That's cool, did not know that was a thing.

Looked at little better there.

Steve Stone just said Vargas looks good with the added 20 pounds of muscle but “hopefully he can make some contact.”

Thought I'd see if the TV App was available out here in Cali. I downloaded it and the only thing I could do was watch highlights of Bulls and Blackhawks and related videos like shorts of the 3 teams , post game or general discussions by their talking heads. No game replays or broadcasts since I'm out of the area.

So after the Rangers finished their 9 run 1st. I picked up the game on Streameast (shh). So as far as I'm concerned that 9 run 1st didn't happen 🤣

It's crazy that only 3 players in the lineup even had at bats with the team last year.

With as bad as the offense was I guess that's a good thing.
