I'm not too concern about this start. Yeah, I would have liked to start off above 500 so we can put last year's nightmare behind us. But, we didn't and that's fine. I say that because I did like some of what I watched the past three days.
To start off, Lester looked really good in his start, but the offense didn't show until late into the game. Then, we all know what happened in the ninth inning of that one. Although, we all assumed it would be good based on last year's number, our offense looks like they can put up some point. Actually, IMO they might do better this year. The reasoning behind my thought is because of the bench speed that we picked up in the winter. We now have an good balance between power and speed (something Detroit doesn't have). Also, IMO we could have easily be 2-1 right now. All that needs to happen for us to make the playoffs is for the pitching to just do well enough that our 7+ runs don't go to waste because they give up double that.
