  1. gonna be a less than 10 pitch inning for a guy with historical control problems
  2. I may not be remembering correctly but it seems like Walker has always done well against the Cubs.
  3. He's going to walk in a run here. No way he makes it to 5 innings.
  4. Almora is a bit overmatched here.
  5. If they lose, this one is going to hurt with the Brewers coming up and depleted team.
  6. Mattingly is going to have Smith throw 130 pitches.
  7. Marginal improvement is still important. If the playoffs are a "crapshoot", it's best to tilt the odds in their favor. The problem is marginal improvement doesn't translate into marginal financial gains. "We're good/great" isn't a justification for not getting better. But (maybe?) its justification for waiting until the deadline to see which needs rise to the surface. Admittedly, this does not at all fit the narrative that every game is important. It's probably just me shifting my (false?) hopes for improvement to the trade deadline. It is justification, you never know what injuries are going to happen and resources are finite. I'm still sore about Harper.
  8. yeah sure fine I still wanted more dammit Marginal improvement is still important. If the playoffs are a "crapshoot", it's best to tilt the odds in their favor. The problem is marginal improvement doesn't translate into marginal financial gains. "We're good/great" isn't a justification for not getting better.
  9. Maples can look so damn good on one pitch and the complete garbage for the next three.
  10. He's done enough to make Addison Russell expendable. Though Addy made himself expendable without anyone else's help. The problem is finding a team willing to take him. Just release him. He'll make a great high school baseball coach with his mentality.
  11. The Dodgers pitcher looks like he's from Rookie of the Year.
  12. Nobody in the pen can throw an Fing strike.
