Trust me, broheim, the feeling is mutual.
Jordan Schafer told MLB.com yesterday that he just couldn't handle all the losing in Houston in 2012:
"I was excited just to get out of that situation. More
than anything, I couldn't take that much losing. I've never lost at
anything like that. It was kind of like you were just expected to lose.
... That's just not a good feeling."
Oh, but wait. He's changed! He's more mature! Not as much swagger! (Basically the same thing we were told about Schafer heading into 2012). Yes, the Astros were expected to lose a lot. And, yes, it had a little to do with the CF posting up a .591 OPS.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
