I think they were good in certain aspects but bad in others. I really enjoy the pitching, but I don't care much for the hitting. But that's for another discussion.
What I said about the reasons for 13 not being significantly better I truly believe. I don't feel I was making excuses but if others feel that way then that's fine.
I hope this series gives it a go next-gen. I want 2 great baseball games. I live and breathe baseball. It was my whole life for 25 years.
