    I don't think that's the right dance for this type of win. It's a little more hectic than that. I'm going with:

    Apparently, the radio guys gave Dubon player of the game. I guess because he drove in the first run, but not really a good choice.

    Budweiser named Justin Verlander player of the game. Much better choice. IMO, 50/50 between JV and Bregman.

    Totally didn't even look at pitch count I'm sure it was justified but would have liked to at least give him a shot

    Clicks pitching signings/evaluations have been a total wash.

    The type of money we been throwing around for guys like Odo, Baez, and Neris could of got us one hell of an upgrade in the outfield.

    I hope we can sign Brandon Nimmo in FA. Lefty bat, center fielder, can slide to left once one of the young guys is ready.

    Keeping him fresh and fit for the playoffs takes priority over anything else I'd say.

    Cease with a huge loss today as well as hurting his ERA

    JV firmly ahead of anyone for the Cy Young after tonight

    JV
    16-3 1.87 era 0.85 WHIP, 148 K, 149 IP

    Cease
    12-6 2.27 era 1.17 WHIP, 182 K, 139 IP

    McClanahan
    11-5 2.29 era 0.86 WHIP, 173 K, 141 IP

    Going back to a 5 man rotation will give JV 1 extra start this season (38 games left, 7 more starts), which will allow him to push towards the 200 inning and 200 K mark, both extremely meaningful in the MVP conversation. Getting to 20 wins would be great if the other guys end up no better than 15 wins. That extra start might be the difference there.
