If this game is a preview of the potential WC first round. it emphasizes the AL weaknesses.
This is not 2 CY pitchers dueling.
It is inept hitters wasting time
The subs or replacements for IL players have performed very well in near FT roles.
But over the past 22 games in August the results are 11-11, proverbial .500 team.
I put more of these results on Contrares, Rafaela , Durbin than on the AAAA'ers
