They have faced 5 lefties in the 7 games. They are without Westburg and Mateo both who are right handed and very good vs left handers so they are having to play 2 of the three of Holiday O’Hearn or Mullins or they have to play a waiver pickup. If they are gonna score on lefties then Mountcastle Rutchsman and Jimenez have to carry the offense and none has done much over that span and Mountcastle has been out the last two games. It takes Mullins and O’Hearn out of the lineup and then Cowser, Holiday and Henderson have to hit left on left. It is no surprise both big hits came when a right hander was on the mound imo.
I wonder if it's too late to extend Gunnar already. Boras has already indicated it will take an extension w/ a value relative to the value of the franchise. Obviously not the cost of the franchise, but a considerable chunk of the cost. Never underestimate the demands of Boras.
