其實不只是開季不被看好
連到了五月底，蛇蛇總算打到23W-23L五成勝率之後
ESPN還是只在power ranking給他們第20名的評價
甚至作者還特地po了一篇文"解釋"為什麼他不看好蛇蛇
http://www.platoonadvantage.com/2011/05/power-rankings-explained-why.html
簡單的講就是他認為蛇蛇打擊差, 後段先發差, 牛棚都雜魚
因此: It just sounds like an 85- to 90-loss team to me. It certainly isn't one
that compares well to the Giants or Rockies, and with Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier
and vastly superior pitching talent, it's hard to see the Dodgers not being
better, too.
結果被打臉之後還不死心
又po了一篇唱衰明年的蛇蛇
http://www.platoonadvantage.com/2011/09/so-diamondbacks-what-hell.html
Without significant changes in the offseason (which they won't be motivated
to make) and/or a whole lot of luck, I don't think things are going to come
together as prettily for the Diamondbacks in 2012 as they have in 2011.
明年蛇蛇能再度讓專家換眼鏡嗎?
