Has the home schedule been THAT hard?   12-17 record is a total joke!

Possible causes for home struggles?

a) Tough schedule

b) Too comfortable, and going through the motions?

c) Furor over Ohtani affecting concentration?

d) Just one of those things?

e) All of the above?

This team needs a reset. You know there’s a problem when your September call-ups are already getting called in to play for the already worn out veterans in May.

I honestly thought Calhoun was going to hit 30 jacks because of that fence. 

Marine layer is winning.

Come on Stradling, that small sample size has been drawn out since 2014. Some of the names have been changed but the results are the same.

Claude read the post I’m responding to.  It was about our record so far THIS year at home.

We are 79-80 at home in April and May from 2015-2017 so is nothing new.

And once again that means nothing.  In two of the last three years (your sample size you chose to throw out there for no reason) we have a winning record at home and the year we didn’t we were 40-41, so basically .500.   Besides your post basically agrees that this year is an example of sample size as well.   Go find a different argument.

Maybe, but it is getting to be a larger one though.    At least the home schedule here on out doesn't have much in tough competition outside of the AL West teams.

They need to at least reverse that record over the next 29 games, because the road record won't stay at .777 winning % of course.

They are pissed.   The Stanley Cup drought for that country is now 25 years old, with Winnipeg's elimination.

Weaver took a leak in the rock pile/waterfall on the way out of town (stream measured at a strong 47 mph), said "here's your hometown discount biatch" and high fived CJ Wilson and Napoli before going with both to hunt cougars in Newport.
