has anything been written or said about what's up with Mookie? Seems like one of the deeper slumps of his career - never seems to bring any discussion on radio or TV or beat writers. He looks broken His BABIP is .222. His xwOBA is .372, much higher than his actual wOBA of .314. He hasn't been as good as last year, but he's just been snake bitten so far.

Now we have a 1-0 game ? Nothing seems constant so far this season.

I haven't been able to watch many games yet. Does Nunez at least have his speed back? Seems like he could be somewhat useful if he does. I'm scared to death he's going to end up with 500 ABs again this season though. Looks like he's not chasing balls out of the zone nearly as much this year. Not sure if this is statistically meaningful yet however: baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/eduardo-nunez-456488?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb

In a perfect world, I would love to see Mookie have a career worst year and we win the World Series again anyway. Maybe we can get him to bite on a cheaper contract I hate to admit it but that exact thought actually crossed my mind.

I'm still not sure, after all these years, if Swihart is a potential 300 hitter with 15-20 HR power or a streaky slap hitter with 5hr power? lol. serious. Love the guy and hope 290-18-75 is in there with solid catcher D but I do not know

Brasier hasn't looked as sharp the last few games. Tired arm ? he has been used a lot considering how early in the season it is

Xander with the new contract......6 years in the bigs.......leadership.....just seems like it will come together for the guy. Probably still remain some minor baseball warts, but he is a great to have on the squad.

You have to give the guy basically all year to say that. He hasn't played in darn near 2 years.

I don;t expect much hitting from Pedey the first 50 games. He has serious rust. I do hope/think he will be fine though.

I fear that the putrid early rotation turns by the starters taxed the bullpen early and might come with a cost at some point. I think they are showing a LITTLE dead arm issues here the last few days
