re: #137 HappyWarrior

You got the bats. Just need the pitching. The key to success in baseball is balance. I remember those Tampa teams under Maddon. Always solid pitching but outside Longoria, no big boppers. Likewise my O’s haven’t had a true ace in years.

The good news is that the Pohlads, cheap fucking bastards that they are, seem on board with signing the big starter free agents. It seems like 2018 might be our first year at contention, rather than 2019 like we’ve all been expecting. But we’ll see how the free agent silly season shakes out before we decide how firmly in contention we are. Berrios at the top of our rotation isn’t bad, but he’s young and we need some backup behind him.
