  1. I don’t know. Warren’s had some struggles, but he’s not just a terrible pitcher, he’s pretty good. So long as he doesn’t collapse, they should be able to work on Rogers’ pitch count and have a chance in this game.

    1. He’s not terrible, he’s just kind of mediocre, era+ 94. Per Savant pitching run value 25th percentile, plus fastball 94, horrible breaking and offspeed stuff 1/6, xERA 4.55. Sure we can win if Warren avoids one of his disastrous innings and we can eke out a couple of runs against Rogers.

  2. As I look at the numbers… Warren’s really slipped. His talent level seems better than where he is now, we’ll have to hope he at least normalizes upwards.

    1. All in his head. Seen it with dozens of pitchers over the decades; million dollar arms, 10¢ heads.

    2. Yes, surely. But not infrequently a player grows out of that. Or finds something additional and has a breakout season.

  3. I figured out why I’m not mad about Cal Raleigh. It’s because he looks kind of like John Hodgman, and I can picture him on a Depression era barnstorming tour, catching spitballs from Hobo Joe Junkpan.

    1. Can’t blame Boone for stacking the line-up with those heavy hitters, he’s going all in for the pennant!
      Asshat.
      …although I have nothing against Cabellero playing, actually.

    2. McMahon had to sit. Not so sure about Jazz (734 vs LHPs). Trent has been awful against LHPs this year so I’d do Cabby in the OF and Amen at 3b.
