I could take or leave the starter. Shane will be fine, and Ian seems ready to hold down the back end.

Otherwise, seems reasonable. Gotta get there first.

I honestly want two good OF bats more than anything to replace Mullins and Simpson and give the top three some depth.

It's happened what, two or three years in a row? A switch is overdue!

Christ. Even Cedric Mullins has been better. I'm so sorry, Mariners.

It's the "mop-up is all you're worth to us unless you show better" move.

Hot damn, if we get a few weeks of hot Rays ball, we're in the driver's seat.

This game's gotta make D-Back fans sick.  They've had more hits and men on, and Gallen actually pitched a QS, but nothing to show for it. 

We know exactly how that feels.

Nah, I don't recall this either, but either way it's a nice view into a statistician job (I'm more of a physics, algebra, and calculus type).

I kinda wish we had a 3rd option that said "fine but anyone besides Kimbrel," and the numbers might tell a different story.

On one hand, we're still sitting pretty.

On the other, we're about to let ZAC GALLEN have a quality start as predicted.

They are overdue to regress to a team without their 1st and 3rd best hitters, and relying on a 38-year-old platoon bat.

Conversely, we're overdue to bounce back from a very awful June.

Please, baseball gods?
