It’s early days, of course, but so far things aren’t going to great for our hometown squad. The hitting has been dismal, the defense has not been much better, and we only think the pitching has improved because of just how goddawful it’s been in recent seasons. The good news is that they aren’t currently the worst team in baseball. That would be the Reds with a dismal 2-8 record so far. On the other hand, they’re also the only losing team in the division, so that’s fun.
Good news for them, the Nationals are only slightly better than then at 4-7, which really is just an artifact of them having played 11 games while the Diamondbacks have only played nine.
