Last we started hot and was in first place for a bit then fell to last. Maybe this year will be the opposite.

Thank you very much Jim! I really appreciate your kind words. There is a lack of consistency and that is going to come with the team being so young. If this stretch happened in the middle of the season it wouldn’t be magnified nearly as much as it’s being magnified right now because it’s the start of the season and there is always so much emphasis on how a team starts. They’ve ran into some bad luck and combined with some bullpen woes that’ll add up to some losses.

Thanks for the nice piece, Jordan. Such a refreshing change of pace from the barrage of Negative Nancys whining about Yuni. What I’ve seen so far is that the talent is there, but the consistency isn’t and there’s just been some bad luck. From what I hear Hosmer is crushing the ball, but right at people, same with Gordon. The SP has been surprisingly solid, the BP a little worrisome. I’m still good with 82 wins this year.

The losses in the Cleveland series were definitely the most painful. All it takes is a little 4 game win streak and they can be right back on track. You bring up a great point about the catchers, by the way!

@michael.allen.engel If we are going to lose I would rather see last night than some of the other loses we have had already. Let’s hope Luke can bring it for six inings instead of 4.5 or something. Again I think some of that has to fall on the Catcher.

@ArrowFan Man I hope you’re right. Games like last night are painful to watch. It’s like ghosts from the past back to haunt.

I agree with you regarding the need to stay positive. I feel losing our callers behind the plate have been the root of allot of the horrible inings that some of our pitchers have had. There is a reason why pitchers and catchers reports so early to training camp. Also the day off today should help them recover and get themselves ready for a 12 game win streak. After that everyone will feel much better.
