Kremer or Suarez for Game 3

[Fiver6565]

I disagree on the take that Kremer gets rattled or gets too emotional. I think that’s an old evaluation of him and he’s been much better at that aspect of pitching this year. Last night is even a fine example of it. He was getting absolutely jobbed at the top of the strike zone over and over again, and was able to work around it anyway. It’s Kremer game 3 for me, and though I like Big Al a lot, it’s not all that close a decision.

Emotional can be okay.     You can be cutting yourself off from a source of strength if your entire institutional ethos is trying to Mr. Spock your way to defeating Juan Soto's team.     

I don't think that's how baseball or real life works, though it can be tidy and comforting if everything can be compartmentalized that way.

Pitchers - we haven't really seen very geeky SIGBOT tinkering but I think that is probably what the situation calls for if Burnes and Eflin split.   Neither Kremer nor Suarez should get much opportunity to yield a bushel of season ending runs.

Honestly, for a 4th SP if we make it to a seven game series, depending on the matchup part of me is tempted to go with Povich with a quick hook ready for Suarez or another bulk arm.
