Time to show them that although they had a nice start We are still the Champs and they are still our b****
Bielak and France still worry me. Bielak more than France. France is looking more and more like a league average pitcher while Bielak just flat out sold his soul for a few games with a low ERA.
Based off Yordan's quotes, he wanted to get back with the team ASAP. Dusty was more hesitant about rushing him back.
Javier and Brown easily. Javier...even with fastball losing its swing and miss except in his last start, I still have about as much faith as I have in France with his struggles, but with much more upside that he returns to normal. Brown is still getting Ks and keeping walks manageable most games, and is only making a few mistakes that get hit hard. Even if he tried, it would be hard to duplicate getting Ks, minimizing walks, while throwing that many meatballs that get drilled. I expect Brown's multitude of mistakes in each game are shorter lived than Bielak's pact with whatever supernatural entity grants low ERAs.
