Remembering the good things in 2017


So yeah, the season didn't go the way we hoped. At times this team was painful to watch. But now that it's in the rear-view mirror, let's remember the awesome things that happened.

  • Smoak's breakout all-star season.
  • Stroman's 200 innings and all-star (well, he should have been!) season. They're talking about Sale but Stro has matched him in WAR at 5.9.
  • Osuna's 38 saves. There was a rough patch but he finished more games (57) than anyone else.
  • Goins insane RISP numbers - .935 OPS, 1.068 with 2 outs
  • Zeke quietly put together a .282/.356/.764 season by being used properly.
  • Dosh's August & September, when he looked like an MVP again. 
  • The emergence of the bullpen kids - Tepera, Leone, Barnes, Dermody, and Ramirez.
  • The kids are alright, with some ready to help the team next year.   
And now, some moments to remember.
