1. I said that with the caveat that if Strider and Acuna are healthy and good. Acuna is doing great. It's been a mixed bag for Strider.
2. When I said that, we had just made it back to .500. Ozuna had a .877 OPS. AJSS was leading for ROY. Olson was hot. Murphy had a .800+ OPS. And on top of that we were getting Acuna and Strider back.
Sorry that I couldn't foresee that Ozuna would have a bum hip, AJSS would tear his UCL, Sale would be lost for 4-6 weeks with broken ribs, Riley would start hitting like ass, and our closer would get a case of the yips.
