I'm wondering about lack of flexibility if the team were to use Varland/Paddack as a piggyback starter and Woods Richardson as a back of the rotation. Would get the limit on innings for Paddack that is a concern.. maybe have Louie go 3 innings then Paddack go from there 4 or five more..
There's no help coming without a trade. Lee and Larnach are hurt. Sure Duran and Staumont may be back soon but what will there be to save when they lose every game 3-1?
I'm willing it to chalk Pablo's day up to the cold rainy and windy conditions. His velocity's fine. But the control got away from him as you noted.
A week's ago I said Wallner and Kepler need to go. But now.. we're stuck. A month ago I said look up Donnie Barrels..
