Or

Pitching reigns supreme
Is that why Max Scherzer threw two no-hitters his first season back in the NL? :francis:

He had one career complete game until 2015, then he had four last year with three shutouts.

Season thread was pretty dead last year. Might as well just keep it in here. :mjcry:

Expectations? In my opinion offense will perform well, hopefully Jose can have another season at the plate like 2015. Pitching? Who knows, but not liking Norris and Wilson being on the DL.

No hitters are more about luck

I remember scherzer crashing and burning in the second half

I guess taking all those abs wore him down

Ausmus' presence alone makes me not have high hopes for the season. I agree on the offense, though I still don't like that they don't have any "grit" type guys like KC does. It's still pretty all or nothing.

I am not excited about the rotation. Mike Pelfrey and Shane Greene being prominently involved does not excite me at all. :pachaha:

I'm a little nervous about the Zimmerman signing. Had his worst season since his first couple years, he's not a big strikeout pitcher and the NL/AL switch makes me question how good he'll be. Maybe I'm being too pessimistic.

The bullpen is trash until proven otherwise. I do not like having another soft tosser as the closer. :francis:

I like this new pace of play rule change. That mound meeting for Archer was brief. :leon:

When's Fulmer gonna get called up??? He could be your number three starter this year.
