Yep
Through the bulk of our June & July winning streaks, comebacks, and hot games, we got lucky - a lot! Our pitching wasn't anywhere close to having the stats to put up those numbers of wins.
How many games did Weaver get curb stomped in the first 3 or 4 innings and we came back and won? We were living on borrowed time so to speak. The chickens are now coming home to roost.
It's been a lot of fun to have something to enjoy watching, up to now. And I'll continue to tune in for a while. I mean hey like 7 or 8 of the last 10 seasons we've been out of the race by mid-May? Some seasons even sooner.
But we just don't have the pitching to stay afloat. And Greene and Lodolo aren't going to be back soon enough to stop the slide we're going down now.
