Neal screwed up majorly in the offseason for not putting any emphasis on improving the rotation, or at least maintaining what he had last year. On top of that, the bullpen is crapping the bed. The arms all around are atrocious.

Worst staff they have had in a long time, and Cole and Liriano aren't helping. The bullpen is atrocious. Whatever magic Neal worked the last couple of years isn't working this year.

On top of not signing more MLB talent and the $$$ dump, the Searage Treatment is no longer effective. On the bright side, I expected this to happen last year.

On the not so bright side, the Cubs are going to rule the roost for at least the next 3 years and the Cards will get better. Bucs will do nothing but possibly compete for the WC.

Bucs on a serious roll now. The schedule is much softer the second half. We'll see if they can make some hay.

Looking forward to seeing Glasnow.

Interesting to see how the Kang allegations sort out.

The Kang thing is shocking. If allegations are true, I hope he doesn't get off easy. If they're not, which I really hope is the case, I hope he is exonerated. I was really surprised to hear about this, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised about anything pro athletes do these days.

The incident has all the trappings of a set up .....and a situation that any professional athlete should be smart enough to avoid these days.

Glad to see they got so desperate to have to bring up the "prospects, prospects, prospects". Been hearing about the future for so many years it's nice to actually see some of it.

I don't see the pitching holding enough for more than a possible WC berth but pretty awesome to see the young guys.
