What did you expect? He probably had a hard time sitting him today.

That’s what I expected from him.

Yep, I just had my 3rd stretch of 403 errors, took me about 8 tries to post about maybe using Kimbrel and others tonight, just now.

I was in the same boat.

[Chavez Ravine]

lol.

[Rbiggs2525]

Grayson looks to be going out to get another batter?

With an off day Monday, I might use the primary relievers tonight even with a 7-2 lead.  Maybe an inning each for Cionel, Cano, or Kimbrel.   None have pitched since Sunday.   And if Kimbrel doesn't go tonight he will go into tomorrow having pitched 1 game in 13 days.

Ouch, O'Hearn.   

Kimbrel may be rusty, they should let him pitch 1 inning.

Sort of like Akin. Great in situations when no one is on base or nothing is in doubt.

Well he's definitely going to start tomorrow against the lefty.

How does anyone think he’s not a #1 or #2

I’ll take him any time. 

His stats don't back up the fact that he is a 1 or 2. He is too inconsistent to be labeled like that. His ERA is roughly league average, and his WHIP isn't great either. I am thrilled to have him, but Burnes is a 1, Grayson isn't close to his level yet. He's closer to Dean Kremer than someone like Burnes. Still very valuable, but not a guy I would want to start game 1 or 2 of a playoff series.

I was kind of hoping Gunnar would be like Cal and win MVP in his second year.   Witt is now hitting .328  though and his OPS is very close. 

It's Judge and Henderson unless Witt gets a sudden power surge.

Honestly I would rather get Norby at-bats at this point.

If Witt hits .330 that will be enough to get some notice. His defense is elite. 

[Moshagge3]

10 free baserunners between the walks and HBP. 9 hits. That should be more than seven runs, I dunno.
