    Unfortunately for Varland, he’s stuck in one of the most incompetent organizations in the game. I have every confidence they’ll run his career into the ground.

    Falvey was supposed to be a pitching genius. He’s, what, 7 years in and we’re wondering if he finally got one with a guy projected as a mid-rotation starter? When do we stop connecting Cleveland’s pitching acumen to this guy? Bring in the same room as an astronaut doesn’t put one space.

    What Grant is missing in his misguided response to Alex, is the Yankees followed up with two very good relievers. Sure, they have one bad reliever on roster as filler. 3/4 of the Twins bullpen stinks. Awful take. The Yankees wouldn’t be caught dead with three relievers of that caliber in their ‘pen. Let alone use them back-to-back-back in a game within reach. They basically just waived the white flag and threw a game down by two runs in September while tied for the division lead (with the other team in first likely to win against the Royals). If you’re OK with forfeiting a game in the division race, you just don’t care. Which is fine, but pretending every other contender would do the same is laughable. I mean, one of the pitchers we used literally just got axed off the roster of a non-contender.

    Tough to keep Bundy off of the list the way he’s been pitching lately. Not always pretty, but he’s been keeping some pretty good offenses in check down the stretch.

    He’s a really strange case. His numbers this year are very good, but it’s an extreme outlier from the rest of his career and he’s somehow still blown 20% of his save opportunities with a sub 2 ERA. I just don’t think he’s that good. I think he’s due to regress hard, and we’re seeing the beginning of that. Obviously the O’s felt the same. Savvy move on their part to dump him at that peak.

    That’s such a huge win. How about the much maligned Dylan Bundy? The guy hasn’t allowed more than 2 earned runs in a start since the calendar turned to August. He hasn’t had a bunch of cupcakes, either. He’s faced Houston, Toronto, and Boston. Not to mention today’s goose egg in Chicago in the biggest road win of the year. He’s been a rock in this rotation lately when most everyone else is falling apart. Very impressed by his resilience this year. We were counting the days until was DFA’d a couple months ago. Jake Cave is doing more for this team in big spots than anyone (except maybe Gordon and Miranda). Another great play off the wall to turn a double into a single. Of course, the triple was huge. Good for those two guys. Good stories. You throw Gordon in there too. A rag tag group showing the stars how to grab a handful and get it done in clutch spots.

    I’d like to blame this squarely on Lopez. What’s that, his third or fourth blown save (in few opportunities) since coming here? But, I can’t. As unhappy as I am with his performance since being here, this is another failure on the offense. They, again, blew numerous opportunities to put some big, crooked numbers up early. It’s uncanny how poor this team is in grade A scoring opportunities. Baldelli needs to get Kepler out of the 3/4 hole. All he does is hit impotent ground balls to middle infielders. He’s like a jugs machine set up by a coach to practice tailor made double plays. He’s a rally serial killer. We burned our best starting pitcher (and maybe lost him for the stretch run) and best bullpen arms, while they used an opener. The cherry on top is lighting a fire in their gut by throwing at one of their best players’ head. Did you see that celebration? They know that was a monster game. You could almost see their failures all year evaporate. I feel a sweep coming on. We just left the door wide open for the Sox. They’re taking this division now.
