Cubs had 2 separate 5 or 6 game losing streaks last year and still won 95 games. Our bullpen is horrible but were 5% of the way into the season. I always wait 30-40 games before I start assessing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reds were 19-18 heading into a west coast 7 game swing. Returned home at 20-24 which put them 9 1/2 back at the time. And Jim fired Tony.

Seeking6 Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 I cut/paste this from twitter. Regarding Chris Davis/Orioles. Seems like just 3 years ago we was a lock for 1st/2nd round in most fantasy formats. Chris Davis hasn’t had a: - run scored since September 18, 2018 - hit since September 14, 2018 - RBI since September 4, 2018 - home run since August 24, 2018 - road home run since July 20, 2018 - batting average above .186 since October 1, 2017 The Orioles owe him $92 million.

rico Posted April 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 I got to be honest, I have never seen anything like this especially from a guy that has put up good numbers in the past. I have witnessed Steve Sax not being able to throw the ball to the first baseman. Rick Ankiel not being able to throw the ball over the plate. And Homer Bailey not being able to get a win. But a guy going hitless in 50 AB's is rarified air no matter what level it is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
