I really wish people would stop acting like that 2018 rotation, as crappy as it was, can happen again, but just with a new batch of crappy pitchers. That just isn't going to happen again, especially with our current offense.
No chance in hell we can get that lucky again. The current rotation isn't going to take us the the world series, and is probably a long shot to get us to the playoffs, especially since our offense is totally unproven and full of young guys.
If all those young guys hit like we need them to, and give us a chance, is this rotation going to get us what we want? It will take something pretty special to happen with our roster as it stands, for us to come even close to what happened in 2018.
Just stop acting like every time we put together a 2018 type rotation, the end results will be the same. It isn't going to happen that way, it just isn't.
