Both Robert and Madrigal should be starting both games because Tuesday showed signs the the offense is on the verge of a corpseball stretch. Luis had shown discipline and a good eye before getting hurt and Madrigal makes the pitchers work and will leverage what he is given. Those two are going to be indispensable if we are faced with the rest of the hitters forcing it and pulling off everything.
Good policy, will comply. In games like last night's the hot takes serve to at least make the thread more entertaining than the game itself but not when it gets personal.
It's hardly an excuse for him or Katz, but I can't forget this is the first time TLR has managed without Dave Duncan as pitching coach. I wonder if there is something to that.
It sucks to lose, especially ones you should win. What makes this kind of game different is the fact that it makes you feel like they don't belong "in the conversation" and that it is naked for the world to see. At least it makes me feel that way.
