Benintendi not making that play in LF didn't help much either. Probably 1/3 or 1/4 odds, but far from impossible. It's one of the reasons his fWAR was so muted between 2019-2021. He's a competent outfielder, but hardly much more than that. Crochet injury hurts in multiple ways. But, then again, Houston is a championship quality team without three lefties in the pen.

That would require at least three bullpen meltdowns (consecutively) in Houston..

Look where CLE is there. Pretty sure Karinchak the most expensive member of that pen.

Every move Hahn makes has deadly repercussions down the line. Rodon and Kimbrel QOs. Stuck with Pollock until M's bailed out Rick. Now stuck with Diekman after his sell by date expired and Crochet weeks or maybe still months away.

That didn't take long. The three blown saves in Anaheim were a lot more traumatizing...this is currently more a sense of resignation.

Michael Morse at second?

Jeremy Reed was always the comp that came to mind…maybe more power and of course the strikeouts.

But what did Kelenic do? Gaddis starts Game #2 in McKenzie’s spot.

Thank god! Nail biter.

How did he foul that off?

Fortunate to get a swing there.

Grandal blocked one.

Sitting dead red.

No off speed pitches lol.

Uh oh.

One more out. Tucker's a tough customer.

Lopez doesn't have swing and miss on straight fastball.

Can just imagine Harrelson. Dadgummit Andrew.

Lefties notorious low and inside hitters...

440+ Geez at least not on Dodgers.

That was predictable. Sped up his bat.
