I'm a particular fan of the quick fry (5-10 seconds) of the corn tortilla before putting the enchilada together. Many places skip that step and you can tell. Even fancy restaurants. That's why cost is not a good judge of what you get. There are many ways to make a bad enchilada, but the good ones hang in your memory like Christmas Morning.
Didn’t see anyone post today’s injury update but Brandon Walter already started throwing. If he really can make it back that would be huge.
I think I prefer Alexander to Gordon in the starting rotation if you want to know the truth. Ideally it’s Walter. Ideal arms September 1: Brown, Framber, Arrighetti, Javier, Walter (Alexander 6th man- we have 4 off days in September- I think the 6th man should only need 1 start- maybe 2 at the tops.) Hader, Abreu, Dubin, Sousa, Okert, Presley, king, Garcia (like to see him as the long man in blow out situations to see if he’s at all someone you snooks be interested in next season) LMj just on the shelf honestly. Neris DFA, sign Presley for minimum.
I’m with you on Gordon. At least Alexander seems to have a plus pitch with his change up. Gordon doesn’t have one.
My hope as of 9/1 (but not my expectation): SP: Framber, Brown, Arrighetti, Javier, Walter RP: Hader, Abreu, Sousa, King, Dubin, Okert 12th man: make McCullers throw 30 curveballs every 3rd day until he retires, then call up Gordon as another multi-inning option. 13th man: call up Ullola and let him strike guys out in low leverage. Pressly, Garcia, and Neris are washed. Ort, Hernandez, Contreras, VanWey, and France ain’t a solution to anything either. Blubaugh has something wrong with him that probably isn’t getting fixed this season. That leaves Rooney and Alexander. I’m not a believer in either guy but I’m willing to keep them on the roster until everybody else is healthy.
