Little victory, I suppose. Other than Liriano, the pitching has been pretty solid in general. The bats are in a fucking coma though. Just plain ugly so far.
I think they need to let their veterans know if they don't perform they could lose their spot (even just temporarily) they are what 9 games into the season and Russell Martin is bating .050? I know he's great defensively, but salty is actually hitting when given the chance to play. Bautista is batting below .150 and is a selfish player, he literally never plays small ball, he either crushes or pops out. Carreras is again when given the chance playing better. Same with Barney when he plays instead of Travis. They're at the point now, like you said it's not a slow start anymore, maybe knowing they might have to sit out will jolt them into producing.
