Graterol faced 3 RH hitters. Rosario and Freeman are LH hitters. Jansen must be better against LH hitters. It almost seems like Dave Roberts is freaking out a bit with all the pitching deployments. One thing that was interesting was that Roberts said the pitching lineup in Game 5 against the Giants was not entirely his decision, that he was just 'one of the voices'. It'll make for nice second-guessing fodder if the Braves can somehow win this.
-
This is the next best thing to being in the room with Henry, Werner and Bloom.
-
The Dodgers had a run differential of +269. They don't really have major flaws. But they can still be beaten on any given day.
-
This postseason is shaping up as a good one for the 'playoffs are a crapshoot' argument.
-
Also, even crappy MLB teams like BAL and TEX are still MLB teams, and capable of scoring runs if you pitch badly.
-
Great, but if they can't take the mound regularly it's not such a big help.
-
Syndergaard is risky as hell too. Not only has he missed the last 2 seasons, but he also missed a pile of time in 2017-2018, making only 32 starts in those 2 seasons combined.
-
What are the chances of a 3 year deal with E-Rod for something like $45 mill? It's dicey, I know, but just anything Bloom does on the starting pitching front probably will be.
-
The question is what he can do about the starting pitching with $40 million or whatever he has to work with. The Richards and Perez signings were not really part of his 2021 successes...
-
The Braves scored their 5 runs last night off Scherzer, Urias, Graterol and Jansen. That's earning it.
-
Signing Scherzer would likely require outbidding the Dodgers, and an AAV of 30 million or more. Verlander and Kershaw have major health concerns.
-
Yes. I'm surprised but not shocked. Nothing much should be shocking in baseball.
-
Just read that Iggy, while not eligible to play in the postseason, has stayed with the team and is serving as Cora's 'intern' and helping out any way he can. Pretty cool.
-
Fun fact: in 26 postseason games, J. D. Martinez has 28 RBI. And a .967 OPS.
-
Bellinger is very talented, but statistically, he was one of the worst players in the game this year. It'll be interesting to see how that affects the arb.
-
True, but give Bloom credit for staying on the job by picking up Iggy and Shaw.
-
To me the Dodgers, with all the pitching they have, might be getting a little too clever with their strategizing. I laughed with glee when Gonsolin and his kitty-cat cleats gave up the big game-tying homer.
-
You're right. And I have no idea what happened to Barnes. But the sticky stuff thing is kind of like steroids, it raises a lot of suspicion whether justified or not.

Which relievers, besides Whitlock, do you trust in a close situation? Be honest. -
Too much Rays love, Nick. We just beat them, man. And it's 4 rings to 0 this century. Stop with the Rays worship.
-
I see Aaron back on a new 3 year deal. Cash is going to show the world he knows how to pick a manager.
-
Bloom wouldn't have made the trade unless he was confident Schwarber was close to healthy. More gibberish.
-
You're talking gibberish. The Red Sox were 9th in MLB in ERA+ at 111. The Yankees were 5th at 115. And since our defense was lousy, that means the pitching was even better than that.

Count me among those who wish there was some way to have JD and Schwarber both on the team next year.
