I like that we are winning games because these games count for the standings. Taking just about anything more than that out of them is not for me.

Originally posted by lou View PostI'm not worried about that at all as it's all cyclical and guys like Hanley (and Stanton) aren't going to be footnotes the whole year and they are going to win games by themselves moving forward. The offense is going to pick up big time, especially if Coghlan is going to do what he did tonight. Morrison is going to walk over 100 times easy. Gaby looks like he's going to be a doubles machine. Yea it's a super small sample size, but a big question of the team was are all the sophomore guys going to hit, and signs look pretty damn good so far looking at their ABs and how no one is over matched. Yea, it's not Phillies staff they are facing, but they won't be over powered regardless which is the point. They aren't going to be automatic outs like some guys we have rolled out the last few. Even Bonifacio and Dobbs got some more hits and the bench doesn't look like it's going to be a complete black hole. So they lost to a knuckleballer and a kind of bizarre extra innings game? Shit happens.
First time through our rotation, we got three great starts, Volstad kept it close (kind of), and we had a blow up. If that happens on average all year, we're going to keep winning 3 of 5, and that's pretty damn good. These guys can hang with good teams. Can they win 92? That'll be interesting, but I hate to be so optimistic, but you have to love how the team is playing through 5. Theres much more positive than negative. And they've done it without arguably their third best player.
I don't really disagree with anything you're saying Lou but the fact remains that the Marlins have won 3 of 5 games at home against the Mets and Natinals. Can we agree that suggests neither we're a good team nor a bad team?
