It was the Great Escape last night, but next time things might turn out so well. Do you trust Streakman as the closer? Do you trust Barnes? I know the overwhelming opinion is for Whitlock to start, but I have said since the beginning of the season that if Barnes can’t close than Whitlock should. To me using Whitlock 3-4 times a week is better than 2. I know the Rotation needs help too, but that’s just my opinion.
It’s way to early to tell about Story, but all on here who just expect him to fill Bogey’s shoes could be in for some sort of disappointment. He may have more range at SS, but to do all the other physical things Bogey does not to mention the intangibles may not happen.
Next years team is going to be a telltale sign. With all the players on the last year of their contracts next years team should look nothing like this years teams, and how Bloom goes about putting that team together, and what happens with Raffy should be interesting.
The only point was that Covid was probably going to run through the team again like last year. Not being vaxed stops you playing in Toronto, but doesn’t necessarily stop you from getting Covid. That was my point.
5-5 to start the season with 7 of those games against Det, and Minn. Starts getting tougher tomorrow with lots of Div games coming up, and a long road trip that we’ll have to wait, and see who can, and who cannot play in Toronto.
