The warning signs were there from last year. We were a team that feasted on bad teams and lost to good teams. We upgraded right, added a pitcher and a closer. We lost our LF than basically negates the upgrade in RF.

So here are the concerns. 1.) Any pitcher gets hurt that is costing any money. That is like nails on a chalkboard for JR. That might impact Gio and other long-term pitcher signings. 2.) Young players that we lock up falling off on production.

Is this the hard part of the schedule? I thought that came in the 2nd half.

I wouldn't trust this ownership with a second chance at doing this. We have to wait for nature to take its course. The fucker is not immortal.

Yup, he doesnt care at all about winning. He cares about the bottom line of the team and his gold.

2019 looks to be a fart in the wind for Moncada. Covid was the excuse last year. But he has a shitload of bad at-bats surrounded by one good season.

Once again this looks like the same team that was bad against above 500 teams and feasted on some bottom dwellers. This does not look like a world series contender.

Shane Bieber probably came when he saw TLRs lineup. Nick Williams in the 5 hole. Wow the Ghost of Ricky Renteria is managing this team.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Umpires, doing their best to get replaced by robots by 2022.

RISP, its K or groundout. This team reminds me of the 2004 White Sox offense. Clutch.

Until we show a competent offense and the lockdown bullpen we are a flawed team that will continue to get beat by good teams. Last year we didn't beat anyone that was over 500 on a regular basis.

My son is getting his on Sunday. He is 17.

2019 looks like an outlier than the norm for Moncada.

This team doesn't look like a playoff team right now. Luckily the owner can take his gold with him to hell.

But on the good news front Jerry gets to take a swim in his pool of gold.

It looked like a first baseman throwing long toss off his heels.

That was an interesting route.

He is definitely up there trying not to fail. He is jumping on the first pitch and is just off of it by a bit. The minute he goes down a strike, its over. Maybe getting the first base knock will fix this. But he is way off right now.

Jesus Christ all Yermin does is just hit.

whoever is working with these guys on D is doing a spectacular job.

Covid is over for him. He needs to now prove that 2019 was him getting better and not just a mirage.

I think Rodon is going to be good. The only question with him is staying healthy and throwing strikes. If he does both of those and he will be fine.

I saw Brian Anderson look like a god of hitting every Arizona spring training. Then the minute we go North and the curveball starts doing curveball things he was meat. Spring training is an illusion.

Tell him to put the wine down. Its not helping.
