I don’t care much who we play in the wild card round (assuming that we don’t win the East 😎).   Whoever we play will have played well the final week, and we will need to play at a high level to beat them.  If we play like we are capable of playing, we’ll win.

I wonder if they won’t be able to line up their rotation due to having to battle so hard just to get in. Whoever we play.

    • Shout out to Dean. That was a nice performance in a big spot on the road. Well done. 
    • Kremer's a good Gibson.    It has kind of entrenched watching Elias bolt together a good team that in the Driveline era, almost all pitchers are on a spectrum somewhere between Kyle Gibson and Felix Bautista.     If you could put 13 Felix Bautistas on a playoff staff, you would but we aren't quite there yet though Driveline and club labs are working on it every year. Even missing some time this year, since joining the rotation for good 6/5/2022: -Dean's 427.2 innings are 26th MLB-wide. -Dean's ERA is 3.85. -The pitchers with more innings and a better ERA are Gerrit Cole, Sonny Gray, Kevin Gausman, George Kirby, Zack Wheeler, Zac Gallen, Dylan Cease, Chris Bassitt, Luis Castillo, Framber Valdez, Logan Gilbert, Corbin Burnes, Aaron Nola and Logan Webb.    Just them. Those 2.5 seasons also coincide with BAL having the AL's best record. It doesn't mean I feel I have the edge if ALDS Game 5 at Yankee Stadium is Dean Kremer v. Carlos Rodon, but he's someone I enjoy having on the team.     Have to figure he is a growth mindset and skill acquisition champion considering he volunteered in podcast that as a prep, he was like 5-6 and 130 pounds.
    • I always like it when people think a manager managed a good game cause all the bullpen moves worked. 
    • Agreed, if they decided to start Suarez I wouldn't complain. Through August he was on a roll and I thought he was a virtual lock to be in the playoff rotation.  Still, Kremer is pitching better right now. He also is the same or better in just about any metric now that Albert's HR rate has normalized. Kremer has better OPS splits vs both RHB and LHB, higher K rate, lower WHIP. fWAR and K/BB are basically identical. I can't think of an objective reason to go with Albert.
    • BTW, in what seems to be another recurring theme for the season, we seem to be hitting teams at just the wrong time. The Giants came in to BAL on a terrible run.  Since taking 2 of 3 from us, they've won 5 straight against contending teams Kansas City and Arizona. They have shutouts in 3 of those games and allowed 1 run in another.
    • it’s amazing how much better a manager looks when he has better players to manage.
