April 9, 201412 yr I generally tend to be an optimist in these situations. After all. 8 games is a very small sample size.... But I don't just look at that they are losing games, I look at how they are losing games that is discouraging... Lack of timely hitting... Bad baserunning.... Bad bullpen work... It does make me nervous...
April 9, 201412 yr Hopefully they will win their series against the Rays, who knows, maybe even sweep them. That would help get the monkey off their back a little.
April 9, 201412 yr They didn't add any bats, lost their best OBP guy from last year, and have a ton of injuries to pitchers. Tough to be optimistic right now.
April 9, 201412 yr The not going to the playoff button? You all have been spoiled with the last few years.
April 9, 201412 yr I thought everyone saw this coming based on their lack of off season moves and what they lost from last season.

April 9, 201412 yr Tough break having to play the Cardinals six times in the first nine games. The Mets series was unfortunate, but I'm with HT: see how things look in mid-to-late May with 40 games under the belt.
April 9, 201412 yr It's early, right? Yeah 8 games is pretty early I'd say. It took the Wildcats 3/4 of the season to figure it out. I'll be worried in 2 months if they are still under 500.

I'm not sure why everyone is freaking out.
