With the all star break coming up, I hope they stick with a 5 man. I like the idea of Burnes, Peralta and Woodruff all going in that Reds series. That one has me a bit worried.
Hasn’t Brubaker been pretty good against us the last couple of years? This seems like the least winnable game this weekend but hopefully they prove me wrong.
The next two series are against the Pirates and Mets, who are last and 2nd to last in runs scored in all of MLB. With our pitching, I have a good feeling going into these two series.
And I’m totally ok with that as I don’t think Escobar moves the needle all that much. I’m pretty good with Urias at 3B for now. Unless you get a clearly obvious upgrade over Urias, I would use our trade assets to acquire a reliever or 1B.
