Betts has 2 HRs in 9 ABs vs this guy and his 5.01 ERA.
After last night's game, we can't accuse the team of being lifeless or just going through the motions. They fought to win that game. Unfortunately, our very average offense will often put up very boring performances. Other offenses at least have the excitement of 1 or 2 big HR guys or stars who can change a game with one swing, so they provide anticipation. With our team, there is no such anticipation. If the opposing pitcher gets our first 2 batters out, you might as well go make a sandwich, because we usually need 3 hits to score.
Fister is the man, no question.
Biagini may be as rotten as his 5.01 ERA, but last night was the 12th straight game--with the singular exception of the three dingers against Gray last week when our guys were probably stealing signals--our lineup has been unable to get to the opposing starter.
My expectation is a hard fought, low-scoring game.
I will be very disappointed (even disturbed) if theytake Devers out of the regular lineup. The 8 HR's cannot be looked at as "luck" or a "mistake". The kid has a killer swing and kille power. So, he learns a little between now and the playoffs? That; going to make a won-lost difference? No. It gives him a little time to learn such basics as when to look for the knuckle curve, and that slider almost in the dirt. He's 20 FOR CS!
He may not hit .150 between now and Oc 1! So what. Neither will Hanley eithe. Don't fuck this kid up, John!
But ain't it nice to finally have a win and the Yankees 3.5 back? That 19 inning saga was a tonic even with the weak hitting. It's also nice to see ERod start a game with some authority and Mookie to get two great doubles when the really counted. And the bullpen, my gosh. 11 guys, 0 runs, 13 innings. There is no doubt in my mind all 11 would love to go out again tonight in another close game. They have to be thinking that they absolutely, positively won that game last night and when it was badly needed.

"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
