Wainwright has 7 starts before today and allowed 4+ ER in 5 of them (2 ER in each of the other 2 - one earlier in season vs Cubs) and pitched longer than 5.1 IP once. We are getting dominated by a guy pitching with a fork sticking out of his back.
Can we please pay another team for their scouting reports on how to get out Grichuk? It seems like our scouts have a giant blind spot when it comes to scouting him.
Lester reacted like it was gone off the bat....which is weird because I'm not completely sure he knows that that would have felt like. I suppose he doesn't.... I think he hit one in spring training once but yeah pretty much
I love how Joe is not afraid to throw guys right out there in big spots. Happ hitting 2nd, Candy hitting 4th. Who would have thunk we'd see this in a meaningful game 2 months ago?
We did lose Fowler for almost a month with injury, Strop for a month, Rondon for a few weeks and lackey missed a few starts on the DL but yeah relatively speaking we were very fortunate injury wise
