I would argue that Busch's potential at 1B plus a full year of Morel could be a substantial improvement, contingent on Bellinger's performance not completely falling off.

And, as was pointed out the team was not average offensively. They were third in the NL in runs. In what world is 3rd of 15 teams average?

Yeah, do you even really even need legs to pitch?

Have you never watched a game before? You throw with your arm, geez. 

[Southpaw19]

Ugh, Garcia at it again.

[UMFan83]

Please don’t let Ferris for Almonte and Busch be historically bad 🙏 🙏

I hate the first week of the baseball season because of how important the first couple of games feel even though your brain knows each game counts for 0.6% of the season.

Or "grabbed". He seemed pretty upset for just a cramp.

Wow, win probability switches based on in game events? It’s almost like it’s useless to keep mentioning.

Maybe he's a competitive guy and pissed he has to leave the game.

Z used to yell at himself like a maniac when he left games with cramps.

If we're gonna need a spot starter for a month I think I'm more interested in trying the Ben Brown experiment then taking Smyly out of the bullpen. But I'd rather just see Horton.
