I hope he gets at least one more start at Saint Paul. He did throw a lot of strikes but 90.4 on the fastball which is lower than his season average.
I think Zebby is the TBD pitcher in Colorado tomorrow.
Good call on Lee. Just because he can get his bat to the balls doesn’t mean he needs to swing at everything. He chases too many pitches out of the zone and when he does make contact, it is weak.
Keaschall is batting first and playing DH tonight for the Saints. He’s got speed which this slow team needs and provides some BTE - Bader type energy.
If C4, Lewis, and Wallner don’t pick it up now. It will be too late by the time Lopez comes back.
Wallner 0.2 WAR, 102 OPS+
Correa -0.1 WAR, 90 OPS+
Lewis -0.1 WAR, 60 OPS+
