What’s the playoff rotation if Nestor can’t start? Cole, Rodon, Gil, Schmidt? Nestor’s injury could hurt the bullpen more. You lose one starter who could have been the long inning reliever. Stroman back on the roster, maybe.
This sounds right to me. I think Schmidt might have been the fourth starter anyway, given what Nestor provided the bullpen as a LHP. Not being able to plug him in for a couple of innings in a close game is a big loss for the playoffs.
I was joking, and yeah, I agree. I think he's a good teammate and probably appreciated as so.
It’s the worst good team I have seen. So many places where things can go wrong. Defense, relief pitching, baserunning.
Luckily the whole league is pretty bad but the Astros will probably make the WS again.
Jazz caught a grounder earlier, looked at the baseball in his hand, hopped a couple times, then gunned down the runner. He scares me. Volpe scares me. Dominguez just needs more game experience in left, and long pre-game sessions in each park during the playoffs. As O’Neill pointed out tonight, corner outfielders have to deal with more spin than you see in CF.
9-0 sounds about right, since the 8 guys in between those 2 strikeouts could only have made 0 or 1 outs combined, so that's a minimum of 4 runs scored in that situation (but likely more)
