GAME 1 / Mon 03 Sep / 5:10 pm / deGrom vs. Wood GAME 2 / Tue 04 Sep / 7:10 pm / Vargas vs. Hill GAME 3 / Wed 05 Sep / 4:35 pm / Wheeler vs. Ryu
This series has me a bit worried. After the shit they put up offensively this weekend against moderately good pitching. They now are facing 2 of the best pitchers in baseball in DeGrom(all season) and Wheeler(last month+). Keeping the momentum going and nabbing a sweep would be the ideal scenario, but it’s going to be tough against these pitchers. Rockies and Backs get the Giants and Padres, so no help there.
Pederson LF Turner 3B Machado SS Muncy 2B Verdugo CF Bellinger 1B Grandal C Puig RF Wood P Chris Taylor is basically being used as a bench player now, which is good. Having Verdugo start and bat 5th is kinda bold, hoping he shows a lot
that is bold but verdugo has that look, like he knows he belongs in the bigs still, tall order for anyone vs degrom
5 innings, 1 ER isn't an awful start or anything but feels disappointing when it couldve been way better without giving up hits to DeGrom... Anyways, find a way to score one off DeGrom here
