Thank god Nate brought his game today. What a shame the offense isn’t.

The August slide was often presented as bad pitching, bullpen flops, sometimes defense, but if I had time to study it, I think the lack of hitting in close games is at least an equal culprit.
Feel for Nate! Nice outing.
Eovaldi pitching a gem with 89 through 6. If Cora yanks him anywhere under 100 pitches for ANYONE in that bullpen, then Alex is the idiot. At least let Nate open the 7th and see if can get 1 or 2 quick outs
Has anyone recently seen the "black" (outside edge") of the plate except on a worn down amateur field ?
Rally-killing DPs are the only times you don't mind JD flailing and whiffing at sliders low and away.
I know RECENCY plays a big part in perception of some players contributions. What have you done for me lately ?? But JD Martinez is getting wearisome with his warning track power and DP bouncers .
perfect defensive positioning and excellent glove by Dalbec
