When is La Stella going to stop getting ABs? He has been the primary DH this year, and he pure and simple sucks. Give Davis these ABs. We need to know if we can go into next year with Davis as the primary 1B or 3B. Will VR be able to cover 3B until Schmidt is ready? Is Ramos worthy of an OF spot next year? Can he make Yaz expendable?

I am going to miss the Rodominator next year. He's really, really fun to watch. Works quick, lots of Ks. He's just usually not very effective third time through. With a better bull(shit)pen, he's an ace. Not an innings eater, but an ace nonetheless.

3-0 good guys in the 7th.

Phuking hell. Doval gets raked for a double and Winns with the mittfuckery.

3-1, runner on 3b, one out B9

Good PHUKING G-d.

Doval is clearly an asset to hold onto. But he is NOT an elite closer yet. WAY to raw.

And how does one become an elite closer without going through some growing pains? Who else we got?

Yup. And this is the year to burn into him the experience.
