I expected Greene, Carpenter and Torkelson to improve and carry the team offensively. Tork has failed so far.
I expected the young starters to stay healthy and build up their innings because I don't think they're ready yet to all pitch 150-180 innings plus potential playoff workloads.
I didn't expect the starters to be some of the best pitchers in baseball. A pleasant surprise but also frustrating because the rest of the team has been inconsistent. I didn't expect them to contend mainly for this reason and expect they will have to cobble together innings in the second half.
