Very fun and informative write up. Was braced for a series loss or sweep. It is not only that Gomber is part of the okay part of the Rockies rotation, but he has pitched very well and often against the Padres this season.
He is also annoyingly bad against relevant competitors.
The HR by Peralta was a big relief. Johnson may be a better defender, but in FTJ's absence his wRC+ is 104 vs. Johnson's 44.
If history is any guide my exuberance is ready for punch in the gut, but still feeling it nonetheless. Hard not to fantasize about a healthy Musgrove, FTJ and, hopefully, Darvish.
Five games vs LA out of the top 11 is a strong indication that something might be brewing. It’s the kind of thing that can get in the head of the losing side. As soon as things get tight, it’s the “here we go again” vibe.
To add on, the analysis of Merrill was great.
