I like the 88 wins mark.
Some key players we need to step up:
Morel and Busch holding down the corners and not striking out over 30% of the time.
I expect a Steele regression but not a horrible one.
Need Suzuki to be the best bat on this team.

I'm hoping it's the weather being a big factor but the bullpen hasn't looked much different than last year. The same clown show with a few new faces. It's supposed to be around 50 over the weekend and against a good team so we'll see.

Just read Carl Edwards is back in Iowa now so maybe he will replace Almonte in the pen.

I'm not. Hendriks is probably done....he doesn't fool people anymore. Not enough change of speed between his lame FB and off speed stuff. The dumpster diver has left this team short of pitching. Rotation is paper thin, the pen is weak....doesn't matter who is managing. You can't count on your hitters to put up 7 or 8 runs everyday. Someone in here reccommended signing Montgomery....too many lefties...but it doesn't sound bad right now even if he threw with his dick. They need the kids they got to get ready in a hurry.

Suzuki looks like he’s going to be getting MVP votes this year

Wicks strikes out Betts and Freeman and is pulled for Cuas who walks the first man he faces, and wild pitches in a run.

Muncy singles in two.

Three runs on a single thanks to wildness.

For the anti Bauer people that think he’s guilty despite innocent until proven guilty. A real winner of a person accusing him

Whether he is guilty or not is irrelevant. This franchise wouldn't have the stones to bring him here either way.

thats prolly true. just wanted to post it for the ones that had already judged and condemned the man as a guilty piece of shit, despite all the evidence pointing to the contrary(he is likely still a piece of shit, just not a woman beating one like many accused him of being).

Nobody he played with in the past has spoken up on his behalf.

Nobody will vouch for his character.
