To my untrained eyes, Profar doesn’t look that bad in LF at all. I mean he’s not Ronny Gant out there, but he’s not Ryan Klesko or Ozuna out either. Said differently, he’s not making me cringe when balls go his way like I was to led to believe would happen…

Definitely an upgrade over Soler

You gonna be ready with GDT tomorrow ?

Feels like Christmas Eve - I am more excited for this season than I have been in a long time. I actually like getting this Southern California loop out of the way right off the bat too. Let’s go make some noise!
 
It's like going to the doctor. It's gonna hurt but nice to get it over and done with and then we don't have it looming.

Let’s just get out of there with a winning record. And know that Philly has to go to do it later in the year.
 
We usually suck on the West Coast, so anything around .500 or slightly under would be a W.
 
I would happily sign up for 3-4 over the first seven games. Maybe I should have higher expectations. Quality teams, big environments, west coast, no Acuna/Strider/Murphy ... I'll take 3-4 and be totally fine. We have the pitching advantage in game one with Sale v King. They have a clear advantage game two in Lopez v Cease. We have a clear advantage in game three with Schwellenbach v TBA (likely Randy Vasquez), and then they have an advantage in game four with AJSS v Pivetta.

Dodgers series is less predictable matchups but I believe it's Holmes v Glasnow (advantage Dodgers), Sale v May (advantage us), Snell v Lopez (advantage Dodgers).

The annoying part is the Phillies open with the Nationals and Rockies.
