I agree with a lot of your points, but I think you’re overstating a few things
On pace after 9 games means essentially nothing. Especially when we played a bunch of meme teams (I am NOT complaining about beating bad teams, just stating that it skews any pace argument)
calling CarGo and Kipnis all star level players is just way overstating the help we have on the way. Maybe Kipnis if he plays at his ceiling, but CarGo signed a minor league contract. Current all star talents don’t sign minor league contracts
The starting pitching is historically good and that’s enough to make us a contender IMO, but a lot of us are nervous about Stinky P returning to form, and truthfully if he isn’t playing at an all star level it’s hard to imagine this offense fully healthy being as good as prior years. I still have big time question marks about the BP too
I like this post.
Having a good record after 9 games means the exact same amount as having a bad record after 9 games.
It means jackshit.
