You're not wrong... but this is the stretch that matters and there are heightened expectations. Not a good start, for sure. We just went 7-10 in a stretch against crappy teams where some, including me, would have been happy with 5-5. As I said before that one started, this stretch is the one that matters. They gained a little room with the last 10, but this is the one. If they go .50 on this 10 game stretch they are in or .5 out of the WC.
But I get what you're saying. They looked flat. A little flat. It happens. Let's see their bounce-back. They have to be feeling it too.
