You saw where this is going.

But there was no guarantee.

And then here we are.

And what I wanted to see from this team was having a good April.

Because you want them to...

continue what they were doing at the end of last year, and then make it even better.

And that's what they're doing without Kyle Teal.

Mike Vassell's out for the year as well.

And you're just seeing a lot of guys contributing.

And that's what makes me believe that this team can reach expectations maybe beyond what a lot of people were thinking.

Maybe this team can play 500 baseball for the whole year, or maybe even above that.

And the reason why I think that they can...

is that this is not just one or two guys or five guys contributing.

Everybody who they're bringing up and coming to the majors or who are already here, they are in some way, big ways, small ways, contributing.

And the last couple of seasons, you'd have a lot of guys that did not contribute, and what happens?

You lose 100 games.

So this is a team that's gaining confidence, and they're having this record right now

They've only played four games in the American League Central.

And what I said before the year was, like, my bold prediction, one of them, one, I have two.

One was that Murakami was going to hit 40 home runs.
