He absolutely is against LHP (.924 OPS, .314 batting average). But no, not this time.

Guy comes in and walks a guy. You just can not do that

EDmuch 2023-10-17 02:00:21 UTC #104

I would have left Wheeler in

Patchmk88 2023-10-17 02:01:48 UTC #109

This guy is a disaster.

EDmuch 2023-10-17 02:02:00 UTC #110

Wheeler would be far better than Dominguez.

Huge play!!

I really wish they would trade SA in the off-season.

VoteForKalas 2023-10-17 02:03:42 UTC #115

He is safe

zambonir 2023-10-17 02:03:51 UTC #116

nice break (though TV guys think DP won't hold).

Not sure why Hoffman dropped below Seranthony though obviously it was due to their respective results last round. But he got his three.

Being challenged at first... looks like it will be overturned.

zambonir 2023-10-17 02:04:42 UTC #118

one of the rules of relievers, even in the modern era of less fungible guys, is to keep the ones coming off the bad seasons and ditch the ones coming off the good/high-usage seasons.
