Their teams stats are unreal. They had a lineup where no batter was under .300. A couple of starters are carrying under 2.00 ERA. They have the widest margin I have seen across the board for stats vs. opponents. This is the 4th or 5th big comeback already, without Gagne. The pen has been outstanding. Defense, less than 1 E a game. In fact I think never more than 1 in last 11. Penny should be ready soon. Gagne also. Depth everywhere, including starters. Team chemistry much better with leaders Kent and Valentin. Even volatile Bradley is staying focused. To take a playoff team, divison winner, shore up their strengths, defense and pitching, and overhaul the hitting, to make it also a strength, vs. last year's achilles, and put it all together, is the kind of thing that wins championships. Probably best defensive outfield as well. The most important thing, the team believes. The media just discounted them as a cellar dweller, somewhere with Zona and Rockies. I thank the media for the fat odds. Yes, IMO they are quite for real. Also have two series with Rockies coming up. Could be record padding time.
