This is being overly negative about a single loss in the 2nd game of the season, not trying to take too much out of one loss at all, but it made me look up the winning percentage of Theo’s 3 year gut rebuild and compare it to Jed’s 1.5 year “don’t call it a rebuild” retool

Theo: .412 winning % (68-94 average over 162 games)

Jed: .432 winning % (70-92 average)

There are still legit concerns about the offense, especially sans Suzuki, but going 1-1 vs Burnes and Woodruff shouldn’t send hopes spiraling.

You have to love the early returns on Swanson. Maybe not so much Bellinger.

But if you want one of those two things to work out, it’s def Swanson.

On the plus side, we're still in 1st place!

Just saw that horsefeathering Ross brought Assad out for a second inning. Can Jed tell him to just never do that? Ross loves doing it and it backfires so often.

Maybe I need to update my avatar to Ross with a clown wig? I'm too lazy to do it myself but taking any volunteers. 😄
