My guess is that Theo and Jed are looking beyond this season for one but while pitching has been the major issue so too has situational hitting. The lineup definitely needed another bat even though this is not what I was expecting after 2016 given our lineup. Quote Link to comment

And, a lot of those runs are being scored after we had the lead and a pitching change is made. It it would have been nice to have this trade plus one for pitching. Quote Link to comment

It's a double edged sword. We seemingly have some great hitters and defensive players on our team. Also at times we seem to have (when everyone is healthy) some decent pitching but they are both so prone to slumps. Even John Lester can be dominant in one game and then get blown up in early innings against a much lesser opponent in another. Maddening no pun intended. Quote Link to comment

How'd that work out for Philly? Crazy to think they lost in the NLDS with that rotation... Quote Link to comment
