    Bunting there shows Dusty learned his lesson from extra innings vs LA.

    Well, makes a little more sense if Springer is the #1 hitter, vs. Tucker/Toro.

    Prove me wrong Abe...

    If he didn’t swing at the perfectly hittable 3-1 pitch... you don’t get to complain about the barely out of the zone 3-2 pitch (that was also hittable, and likely too close to take).

    Maybe you don't give the biggest at bat of the game to a barely major leaguer

    Without a for-sure closer, they should be playing for multiple runs when they’re the road team.

    Now, Paredes may be a for-sure closer in waiting...

    Strom needs a “calm down” buzzer for the rookie pitchers. They’re all going to have AB’s like the one Paredes just had to Laureano... when a much better hitter on deck.

    Boom... the rookie experience is a season in and of itself in this non-season.
