I understand it. And it could very well be true. I just wouldn't take that chance. History us not on his side.

Some of this depends on defense vs. offense. Do they sit Grandal for poor defense. Same with Jimenez. That's losing a ton of offense. Can they afford to pull a pitcher early with who is available? I think it's more important for good coaching decisions during the season to make sure the pitchers are ready for the postseason. The pitchers ready for the postseason may dictate if someone can be pulled early in the postseason game.

It wasn't so much of a question as it is a comment. Because I'm not sure what they need to do other than monitor innings and make sure they are ready. I'm in the camp of not trusting Rodon to be available for the postseason. But they need to make sure their starters are prepared for the postseason.

More of a focus than this is the performance in playoffs. The pitching staff as a whole was awful. Is there something they can do to put the staff in a better position for optimal performance in the playoffs?

We finally agree on something.

Stuff has really jumped at age 30?

Wasn't there talk of them moving Tatis to the OF to protect his shoulder issues?

Of course everyone can. Doesn't mean people can't express their opinion about it as well.

Oops.

Showcasing him against minor leaguers for a possible trade?

How about the complainers complaining about the non-complainers?

Isn't it nice to say usual exit IN the playoffs instead of going a decade between playoff appearances.

I was just using his number as an example. All starting pitchers are throwing less. Hence the importance of bullpen pitchers.

Unfortunately if he did top out at 165 innings, he wouldn't be available in the postseason unless the skipped 6 or 7 starts for him during the season.

Muscle mass isn't bad as long as you maintain the flexibility. That would be what you need to check with him and Robert.

I would add Robert as well.

An ice cream by me, the creamery, carries rainbow cone. Yum.?

Good bet.

If it's as reported that his name is popular in trade talks he has to have some value.

You would think it would shorten it if anything. No more waiting for thr catcher to flash signals or change them with a runner on 2B.

90-93. Pitching going to be thin until Lynn returns.

Really looks like the lineup will have either Vaughn or Sheets at 9. I'm surprised and thought TLR would put the "speedy" guy at 9. Maybe he thinks, Vaughn or Sheets will "protect" gim and he'll see better pitches.

I like it. Good use of technology for the game.

This can happen. It's usually not faster probably slower but I just sit and watch the game instead of waiting in line. I'm in 162.

You can order many things on the App and they bring it to your seats. Just can't be in a hurry as it takes a few innings sometimes.
