AkronsWitness Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I remember that one time I got yelled at for creating a new team thread when there was a perfectly usable one from 8 months prior that was buried on the 12th page of the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping that Karinchak and the kid they got for Kluber can shine some and bolster the bullpen. Other than that, here are the stats that defined them in 2019 and probably will define them in 2020: Batting Avg 15th.250 AVG Runs 15th 769 R Earned Runs Avg 4th 3.76 ERA WHIP 4th 1.22 WHIP I don't subscribe to the theory that good pitching combined with mediocre hitting is a winning combination. It's not like they just missed last year...they missed badly, and did little/nothing to improve offensive production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How they knew they need OF help and they let Ozuna go to ATL for basically $10/hr is embarrassing. How they got jack in return for Kluber is embarrassing We brought in Cesar Hernandez in return for losing Puig/Kipnis/Kluber. Its like this team is trying to reset its books back down to 0 after actually spending a little money each of the last few years. Its so hard to invest in a team that is blatantly not even trying to improve but in fact, trying to get worse.

candyman93 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I secretly hope we catch the Marlins in payroll so I can hear the “fans don’t show up to games” crowd explain that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
