Sale, price and porcello (with a working sinker), hard to see how we could not win 100 games as a team. But then price got injured. But Pomeranz stepped up big time. However then porcello went into the tank. And to make matters worse, rodriguez’s knee gave way again. And we were left needing more pitching. In desperation, we had to turn to fister!!!!!
2018 is shaping up to be another year of not enough pitching and who is the next fister!
Back to the lineup: Even if you brought in the world’s best clean up hitter, this team won’t do squat unless he is a leader!
We desperately need someone to command the locker room. Someone to hold players accountable to the team. Until we get that personality, our young guys will not take it to the next level.
