I don't see anything wrong

with us being below the Marlins and Rangers. I’m actually surprised we’re above the Brewers. I don’t get the White Sox and Tigers love though.

That article is factually flawed.

It says, and I quote, “In terms of the actual team, there is no structure or semblance of a plan.”

As we all know, Omar most certainly has a plan.

I'm finding it hard to take seriously

considering in his last article that he linked to, he said:

“The American league dominated interleague play this year with a record of 138-114 against the National League, and since interleague play began in 1994 the NL has finished with the better record four times.”

While his point might be correct, being that factually wrong about the year interleague started just makes it hard to take seriously.

I record of 138-114 isn't exactly "dominating", either.

It’s a subjective appellation, sure, but that means that they were 24 games over .500, out of 252 games. That’s not very much, if you ask me.

I'm curious what the record is when tehre is a DH and when there isn't a DH

The NL is at a huge disadvantage when we play in an American League park. I bet the games played where the NL team is the home team is much closer to .500 than when the AL team is at home.

I agree

we are a middle of the pack team until we prove we can pitch again and stay healthy. I see the usual teams are very low, but no one really can tell how some of the young kids coming up will respond, teams will move around. I think the Royals and Reds are a little better than where they ranked
