they actually had an option but he retired 

A spring training invite is barely an effort to fill a need

Lol Brinson missed the base.

Yep, correct call.

They were in the World Series last year and are competitive basically every year in the AL East with payrolls lower than ours.

I wouldn’t mind winning more.

I would love to win more also.  I'd rather win with true talent and not rely on gimmicks or strategies.  We have a ton of pitching depth in the minors.  We are going to have 5 goods starters for years to come.  We're almost there.  Just have to be a little more patient.  Being 3 starters down first week of the season is a test for any franchise.

Every team relies on strategies, though.

A five man rotation was a gimmick for a while.

Beer used to be 10 cents on some nights!

(No no I totally get you, I'm just taking the piss.) 

 

If you have the starters all up and ready to go, by all means, go 5 man all the way through. Right now we don't, we gotta get a little crafty. If our offense could average 4 runs a game, we're a much better team. Unfortunately we're ... averaging about 1.5 with this current team. (I think.)

The Rays do what they do because of injuries and lack of resources too.

It’s not optimal to have bullpen days, but you do it when it’s the best alternative. 

I love the fact we might see a Sandy/Pablo/Rogers/Sixto/Meyer rotation one day (and more pitching that we have), but right now we don’t have that. 

Why this team has a good run differential but with a record under .500 ? because when they hitting good everybody got the hits but when they hitting bad everybody can't hit anything. 

"That's on you, blue." Lololol no it isn't, whoever said that.

Because run differential doesn't tell the whole story.

Our losses have almost all been very close games. Some of our wins have been blowouts.

Looks like that's going to change tonight.

Good, our record was better last year with a negative run differential.

We need to lose more 20 run games.

That's just what I mean, they scored a lot in the " hitting good " games, but always can't scored at least three to four run in the " hitting bad" games …

Look ! it's Luke Cy Young Weaver !
