It is pretty hard to be as bad as 2003 and 2019. I can easily see them losing 100 games, but I think they'll be better than that. I expect some of their hitters to improve as the year progresses and there should also be help from current minor leaguers later in the season.
Pitchers have always been disproportionately White. I am not sure why. I used to think it was racial profiling (like black QBs), but you would think that would have been alleviated with the modern scientific approach in baseball.
I couldn't watch them when they played the Red Sox. Now I can't watch them because of Apple TV, whatever that is. I think TV viewing reached it's peak a few years ago when I could almost always watch them on MLB Extra Innings. Back to the radio while I surf my fantasy team on other channels.
I think it's to early to make comparisons. Some of it could be adjusting to new rules. However, I do expect offense to be up this year. Another thing that is happening is more base stealing. That might actually pick up even more because the success rate is also up.
