    It's worth noting that Dezenzo suffered a capsule sprain in his hand and has been out months. JP France has a capsule "tear" in his shoulder and missed more than a year.

    Yea i'm not worried about Abreu in the 9th

    I don't have playoff confidence in Souza or the others though

    BUT

    If Arrighetti can work himself into being the 3rd playoff starter

    You can easily get 3 relief innings out of Javier in a game, hopefully same with Garcia. Those two following 5 innings of a starter can get you to Abreu

    You can work it in the playoffs and win series

    I'm way more worried about getting to the playoffs

    I think you encapsulated that quite well.

    We don't get anywhere close to winning our second title without Framber

    7 shutout innings in the LCS

    Then two games of 6+ giving up 1 run in each

    Year before that (21) he threw 8 innings with 1 run against Boston to help us get to the Series

    in the 20 LCS we lost to Tampa he threw two great games too

    The last two years haven't been good, i'll give you that

    But dude has given us some GREAT playoff performances, and like I said, without playoff Framber, we have 1 Championship not 2

    We have seen Tucker on the struggle bus before and it’s not pretty. Yet some folks around here think we didn’t get enough in the Tucker trade.

    Well, to be fair, 2 of the players we got are out for the season and the other one is hitting somewhere around .140 over the last 5 or 6 weeks.
