The great Monty Hall logic problem. -
You can add Culoumbe and Webb to this list. All 5 are between useful and star members of the roster, but there is also a big addition-by-subtraction gain in getting rid of the 5 guys they replaced.

Finally getting to watch a couple of his games in some detail, I can report he probably doesn't slide head first much. At least, as a baserunner, he doesn't wear a mitt as our guys do. Looks like a lighter thumb guard kind of thing, but fingers are free. I missed a slide test because the base he just stole was standing up, his MLB best 33rd in a row without being caught. Ohtani v. Cease 3 times was good to get to see, and LAD and SDP playing another great game of baseball as a kid from Baltimore and Manny try to push the world's greatest talent collection. Dodgers might have lost their (ancient) shortstop to a muscle strain while base running. He couldn't go 1st to home on an Ohtani double that might have been a triple if he had been able to do so. -

I may be misunderstanding, but if you are suggesting that you would recall Rogers for the playoffs, then I must respectfully and strongly disagree. Baker is odd man out here, or maybe Smith, but I would definitely keep Bowman -

A litmus test is if you'd prefer Trevor Rogers back for last guy. Tell me if it sounds crazy, but a pitcher you can sign to a minor league deal in mid-August might not be competitive with the world's greatest hitters in late September. It is fun to curate a trick pitch that works for a minute. -

Just read two interesting tidbits - Juan Soto has battered him something like 18/35 which seemed like a lot but I guess PHI and WSN saw each other a bunch in the NL East. Also that he passed 1000 career innings. It caught me a little by surprise he has been around that long. Fingers crossed Bradish and Grayson in their careers can get there. Eflin is 3rd among pitchers at age 30 and down this season. Hopping to Active Leaders to see how few pitchers attain that in this Driveline/Arm Barn era, tonight he became the 57th active pitcher to get there. He gives us the ~162 IP we hope for in 2025, it'd go up about 20 spots. -

Westburg, Urias, Mountcastle… Good defense, even when there’s bad defense. Westburg missed a ball that went for a hit, but I didn’t feel any foreboding, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure that that one play wouldn’t ruin the game. And it didn’t. Good pitching, even when there’s bad pitching. Eflin had never in his whole career walked 5 guys, but I wasn’t worried, for some reason. Even when Bowman had his worst outing as an oriole, I wasn’t worried, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure we’d win. And we did. Good hitting, good base running, even when Santander REALLY wanted that triple… and didn’t get it. The fundamental baseball smarts seem to have returned, so a mistake is just a mistake. I feel really good about this team now, even though they haven’t been perfect. I really feel they’ll cover for each other, and we will enter the playoffs strong. I feel most comfortable about facing the Yankees again; they just don’t seem like a strong team, and I’m not the least bit worried about facing them again.
