Exhibit A on how payroll does not equal talent.
I agree, they just needs some different players, and it's crazy to me that they managed to set a payroll record with such a mediocre collection of talent.
Please stop this moronic "You are wrong." "No, you are wrong!" back and forth. They're going to be hidden anyway and it doesn't add actual meaningful discussion. You can do better.
The point is they are in a pretty precarious situation. They're not going to jettison pitchers that might be able to help them out unless it's an offer that blows their mind, in which case we'd be fools to make it.
You'd think he's done after 7, whereas Civale could conceivably go 8 if this inning is quick.
When was the last time we had 2 8-inning starts in a row? (Yes, I accept responsibility if this inning goes off the rails.)
