    1. It’s very annoying.

      I guess Rodon HAS to be the Game 2 starter now. I suppose Schmidt has probably still leapfrogged Gil, though, as Schmidt’s problems seem more fixable than Gil’s at the moment.

      Leiter is so annoying, and then he strikes out the side, showing that he clearly has the talent to be a good reliever, but he’s just too damn inconsistent. Blake better spend the whole offseason working on that dude.

  1. This would have seemed like an okay (not fantastic) number of wins when the season began.
    After the first half, it’s pretty shocking.
    What does it mean, though, that it leads the AL? Are the efforts at (ugh) parity working?
    I certainly hope not.

  2. It’s got to be Verdugo in left. They wanted The Martian to win the job, he didn’t. At first Waldo looks like the least bad offensive option. They handled Rice today like he just doesn’t belong and he was pretty bad before he went down. It’s hard to imagine Rizzo being able to drive the ball with two fractured fingers.

  3. I would let Dominguez play full time at this point. Soto – Jasson – Judge. I think Brian had mentioned the level of pitching Jasson has faced this year has been quite unbalanced, so I don’t think his EOY numbers reflect his true talent level. Plus, I just want to see what he can do a bit longer. Also, I don’t ever want to see Verdugo again.

    1. Agree with every word.
      Give him the experience. He has the ability – and it’s hardly like your foregoing a genuinely good alternative.
