Who's the most disappointing team in baseball?

[Rock Strongo]

5 weeks in, who ya got?

 

[Rock Strongo]

vote and discuss as is the custom.

I'd have to say Seattle and the clock should be ticking on McClendon

A week ago the Nats, but they seem poised now to get a grip on that division, but the news of Anthony Rendon, the games biggest coward, being done prob for the season, will sting

The Red Sox are better than I thought they'd be

The Giants sleepwalk their way through the first half of seasons

The Pods are where you would think, there are still some serious flaws there

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Oh the White Sox too

I'm surprised there, but Szmardjia is more awful than I thought, I thought he was bad, but he doesn't give his team a chance

i thought you adored anthony rendon?

and say WHAT about the red sox?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Mariners by a good margin. It's early, but the pitching is far, far, far behind last year's group. I would also say the Mariners have been turning it around the past two weeks.

Rendon can suck 10 dicks

My keeper, dives for a ground ball and misses a season. My 10 year old daughter asks me what kind of man is that

Yeah I'm surprised the Sox are around .500 with the team Cherington put together. Farrell has done a nice job.

i dont agree on farell, i think hes part of the problem. he doesnt know when to yank a pitcher, like grady little.

You watch them more than me, I just think no manager is winning too often with the staff Farrell has to work with. If they play.500 ball this season, I think that's a pretty good job

Their BEST starting pitcher (Masterson) has an ERA of 4.71.

Buchholtz, who was the WORST statistical pitcher in Baseball last year, is even worse this year.

And their payroll is around $200 Million.

Thought the Indians would be right up there battling for the division.

Yan Gomes can't be that much of a difference maker.

Have to think that has a lot to do with Carlos Carrasco pitching like a 5 instead of an Ace. And a guy like House being terrible, Salazar getting better but not what they expected so far, and of course Kluber not being what he was last season

i was thinking them too, but used "other". a lot of teams are underwhelming to start.

The underwhelming work from their rotation can't just be on Gomes absence though, can it?

I thought House could be a sneaky good starter.

Michael Bourne sucking balls can't help either.

I agree on House, thought the same

Think That top 3 in the rotation will get really rolling, just gotta hope they don't dig too big a hole

Not familiar with Gomes defensively, so not sure on that

and yeah, Michael Bourne could actually be released, if not for the money owed. He's done as an effective major leaguer

 

[tducey]

The Mariners

 

[calsnowskier]

Cant say the Giants. They are what we thought they were... Flawed, but with a will to win that is unmatched. Probably not enough to make any real noise this year, though.

I am a LITTLE surprised by the Pads. Sure, their defense is about as advertised. Yes, their offense is better. But I was expecting their rotation to suffer from the defense, not the bully. Their bully blowup is something I was not expecting.

I went with the Nats. Sure they are turning it around, but they were being talked about like they were the 2001 Mariners.

 

[The Derski]

Wait why are the Marlins an option?

SI picked them to win it all, thought they should have been an option. They have the pitching just no bats right now. Typical Cleveland, get our hopes up and crush them.
