Look if they lose this series they will be like 5 games behind the entire Central. The season will be over. Before June
With almost 3/4 of the season remaining? It is a marathon, not a sprint. Unless you are doing the Costanza bit.

Merrill Kelly, at 37 years old in his eighth MLB season, threw his first career complete game tonight. Did so with 100 pitches on the dot. Over his last two starts: 16 IP, 2 ER

Another game where we can't get a hit with runners in scoring position. The lineup just isn't working on most nights

Whatever happened to small ball, you know, Embrace the Chaos? Ala 2023.

Well those teams played great defense, hustled, and got on base. They were really must see TV because they just scrapped.

And several of those defenders have taken big steps back.

We don't have Christian Walker and his gold glove at 1B

In 2023 Perdomo was one of the best defensive infielders in baseball. Over 1100 innings 4 errors. 3 already.

Gurreil has always sucked in LF but at least his bat covered it some. Now Colorado has spent the whole series trying to pull the ball his way and its been TERRIBLE.

Fun fact, these are our negative WAR players for 2026. From below zero to worst

Pavin Smith
Luken Baker
ADC (A negative WAR DH is super hard to do)
Tim Tawa
Lourdes Gurriell
James McMann
Carlos Santana

Alek Thomas was a 0 WAR because his defense was elite. So we cut him but all these guys are worse everytime they are on the field.

Thompson - 3 pitches
Morillo - 4 pitches
Clarke - 7 pitches

This is why they have to carry so many pitchers on the roster.

Also - do they have any options remaing on Pfaadt?
