Local press is already turning sour toward the Landlubbers
We are only 19 games into the season but fans are starting to get antsy with these feelings of Deja vu. The team is off to a sub .500 start just like last year despite what everyone considered an improved team for the short term. We may not be able to rely on the frenzy the Landlubbers put us in late last year winning 50 of the last 69 games. Even if they do however, the fear is that these slow starts are foreshadowing the first round playoff exits. Maybe this young (sim years) manager is missing something. Maybe his dependence on analytics isn't all it is cracked up to be. It's the same questions we ask every year.
Pitching is where we see the most disappointment in this young season. Only 2 of 12 pitchers are beating their expected (Real Life) ERAs while our division rival Kraken have only 2 of 11 that are not beating their expected ERAs. We can only hope these pitchers turn it around before we lose valuable bats like Matt Olson (A Witch told me he has limited at bats this year).
