2020 Random Ramblings

[Porter]

Sweet, another injury. Sanchez gets hurt on his last start of the year, LOL. Tampa should be able to sweep me without breaking a sweat.

If Tampa can sweep my 102 win team from 2015 without his 2 best starters. Anything is possible.

Raises hand, cough cough.
If you guys want to get anywhere in the Cent, you're gonna have to pass the greatness that is the Houston Astros.

Only one who scares me in this division is Prov. Hirsh and Jackson might have won a couple rings if not for the force that is the Cardinals. I once had a team that won 103 games, and was still 8 games behind the Cards.

Though it's nice we have some active GM's in the Central again. Once upon a time we had guys like Slyder and Witlon in this division, then it became a ghost division. So I hope you and CJ stick around.

Yeah, because it's not like you have any good starters left.

On the other hand, I'm starting Anthony Lerew in Game 1 and Craig Whitaker in Game anything. It doesn't matter. It's Craig Whitaker and his 5.13 ERA! Woohoo!

Angels in 5.

I don't have any.
My chances were doomed the day Owings went down, he was the key.

I fully expect Ibanez and Myers to rip my heart out, slowly and painfully.

* Bullpen was did better than i thought it would after Fruto
* Parker's solid sophomore season

Cons
* Freitas inexplicable 9.86 ERA in Sept/Oct after having the previous months in the 3's
* Not finding a SS that was capable of at least contributing on offense.
* Injuries to too many pitchers on the ML Level
* Where the hell did Cristian Contreas go (10 ERA after last year's sub 4 ERA)
* Sebastian Bludd walking everyone in Seattle, Tacoma and maybe Portland too.
* James Poulin not being able to establish a solid season.

Neither have Lejew's track record in the postseason. I'm going to be pummeled.

Shoot, I didn't have time to send in a little bit better of a lineup. I've had a hectic week but maybe the changes wouldn't have helped. Or maybe they would have, who knows? I'm pretty happy with my first full season and the performance of this club overall . 8 games above my pyth is pretty good. I need to improve my pitching and my infield this off season though. We won 14 more games than last year and finished only two out from Tampa while last year we finished 19.5 half out. The fan interest boosted quite a bit too which is a great sign. I'm looking forward to next year and hopefully, I can make the postseason.

Arenas finally lived up to his greedy son of a ***** ways, 24 hits and a 1.170 OPS in the playoffs.
