Elias expects hitting to be good and pitching to struggle

Unless that statement is regarding being interested in resigning Matt Harvey.

Five games in and you really can't extrapolate what this team is.

It's bad.

At least the defense has been solid Oh wait,nevermind.

[MDtransplant757]

On a positive note, Mountcastle has started out well instead of the catastrophe that was April last year. 

[Pushmonkey]

How about these hitters. They are tearing the cover off the ball!

[jabba72]

Still waiting for the "hitting to be good" part to happen.

In fairness they've faced 2 really good pitching staffs and had a TON of loud outs.  I think the bats have been a bit better than the results have shown.  That RISP number will turn.

Mancini hit 3 hard balls on OD and every one of them were at someone.

[Frobby]

At least the pitching side has been pretty competitive.   Gotta cash in some runners on base though.

[Bahama O's Fan]

Yeah...um...about this...so far...uh...um...

[ChuckS]

How bad is this lineup?  Really hard to get anything going when 6 through 9 are automatic outs. 

 

[AlbNYfan]

The "everyday" lineup is sooooooooo much better. 2 runs/game doesn't cut it.

[connja]

Yeah, so far things are playing out opposite of expected.  Everyone needs to get it going, but Mullins has to be priority sitting on top of the lineup

Huh? He literally is the only reason we have any offense minus the average.
