The lineup mistakes today were to not DH JT against the lefty and also no Munoz for Didi.

We also need another starting pitcher of course.

Glad I didn't get up early for this.

Falter isn't an answer but also they are supposed to be able to outhit the spot starts.

All GMs will say the first half of the season is just to find out what you have (or that you have nothing) so now we shall see. Will they add a position player of any kind (even off the bench)? Try to throw Didi into a deal? SP is obviously priority #1 and a bullpen piece probably still needed.
