At least they seem to have moved on from Holmes as the closer, which offers some confidence. I'd also feel better if Dominguez were playing better, especially in the field. I am now resigned to the probability that Verdugo is starting in the playoffs.
This is why I wanted him called up during the summer, when he was white hot in AAA. He should have been in CF, where he is a much better OF and Judge in LF. At this stage, they aren't moving Judge from CF with very few reps anywhere else all year long.
Cole is going into October off two dominant starts. Soto is gonna be a playoff monster, I have no doubt. I think Judge’s playoff struggles are a little overblown - statistically he’s still digging out from his horrendous 2017 ALCS. Stanton is heating up and has been a good October hitter. Those are our four Hall of Famers, and they have to carry us.

Pirate rookie starter Jared Jones has impressive stuff, throwing 100 mph. 2020 second round draft pick.

He's like Nuke Laloosh though....not a lot of control. Hope a Yankee hots the fucking bull off him.
