Yeah don’t get me wrong I definitely think a lefty bat at the deadline should be a priority. I know Blum said something on the broadcast about teams skipping lefties against us - any idea what he is talking about here? Off the top of my head I’d guess the Rangers made sure Corbin didn’t pitch against us in that 4 game series. Feels like this would be tough to do for the most part though unless you have 6 starters…
Altuve is such an enigma... 2020 ALCS yips, 2022 playoffs slump, the career long base running issues, and yet... should be a sure fire HOFer if Buster Olney didn't exist.
Yeah, he's just a bit ok. Uh huh. lost the no-no in the 6th CGSO, 2 hits, no walks, 13 K, 94th pitch closed the game with a K...103 MPH
I would tend to guess no. One thing it does affect for sure is bullpen use. We don’t see lefties out of the pen unless the game is over or it’s their stud leverage guy.
