Lead.
Dalbec making things happen!
JBJr putting on the contract year rush here in the second half of the short season. Still think he'll have trouble getting a substantial deal
Can Walden pitch an inning without at least one hit and 2 walks ? Apparently not, giving up the leadoff HR
Chavis is too short to play in front of a 38' wall. Balls go over his short arm reach
Now we have 2 samples of poor LF play by the short guy. Is that too small a sample? Or is it Walden's fault for giving up big hits?

Pivetta’s pitching was really good today, he used the same method to hide the ball that houck showed,
I was impressed. I think he used four different pitches and had decent movement of the pitches.
Vaz cleans up with a 3 runner, making the bullpens butts loosen up a bit. Maybe they can hold a 5 run lead
It's certainly nice to see some hopes and bright promises as the season nears its end. I'm more hopeful now than I was earlier this year, but the jury is still out on many of the players we are talking about: Houck, Pivetta, Valdez, Dalbec, Munoz & Arroyo.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, and I have a good amount of optimism about our future, but there's a lot to learn about everyone of these guys. The good thing is, there are 6 that are looking good, and we may not need even 4 of them to come through.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
I never watched pivetta pitch prior to today, so I did not know anything really about him.
He appears to have decent stuff. Not sure we will know anything about him, as an answer for our 2021 rotation until next spring.
I think I saw him get four different pitches over for strikes and his command and control was decent. His pitches had movement. That is a lot of raw material to work with.

Rodriguez
Free agent signing
Eovaldi
Perez/pivetta/houck
That rotation is big improvement over this year’s, if they are all healthy.
