Just gotta mention the big boys - nine in a row! Ya gotta believe - too many folks criticize in the down times and this season has certainly been a roller coaster but with the joint aligned approach in offensive mentality for each player to push to be their own best identity agreed upon in a key team meeting coupled with the infectious impact of Luis Arraez this team has a true chance to be special. Kudos to the bench as well and to Bryan De La Cruz who waited his turn patiently after an MVP year in the Dominican Winter League and solid numbers at LHV. Don’t discount the young player development boys either- Painter, Crawford and now McFarlane stepping up at the right time - doubters can doubt but others believe and all that matters is if the team envisions what might be - Ya gotta believe!
