Would be curious about similar analysis for the games against the losing teams. How many times have they eked out a win against a bad team throwing a starter with a whale of an ERA? the offense doesn't seem to only be bad against the good teams. my chief concern here is that the power of friendship doesn't win championships, hitting home runs does, and i don't think that can be solved via trade
I’m also hoping that using pitchers more creatively to put them into a marginally better position to succeed like what we saw on Sunday will continue. Not sure Morgan vs two quality lefties qualifies but limiting Hart to one time thru the order sure is. Would love to have seen Yuki start,have Hart go thru the order once, then Morgan for the righties in the middle of the order, then the big four.

Great analysis. Appreciate the depth.

But it worked so…🤷♂️
We can nitpick how to optimize the pitching staff all we want, won't matter if the offense can't generate run support.
Oh- meant to say, appreciate you finding some “reasons to keep the faith.” It’s been hard lately.
