If Lucy and Fitz keep hitting, the FO is going to look really stupid in not calling them up earlier. Of course, the FO already looks really stupid in the eyes of the lunatic fringe.
He has a bit of an excuse with Luciano as he was injured for almost a month while with Sacramento.

Putting aside the meaninglessness, fun game! Beat LA, great pitching and and old fashioned start from Manaea of all people. I think you guys underestimate him he's been pretty good since an ugly start

Might it have been a mistake to pull the plug on Strip and Manaea too early as starters? They both started horribly, but had both had track records of being decent starters, granted not 1, 2, or 3.

I feel like the implosion of the 2 starter all bullpen model I had a huge boner for earlier means they will try to field at least 4 legit starters. Manaea could easily be one along with Harrison Cobb Webb

If Manaea is back next year, and he pitches like he did tonight, I am all for him holding a spot in the rotation. I do think Winn and Beck also deserve a shot at the 5th starter spot. If you can get decent pitching for 4 to 5 innings, there is no need to tax the bullpen terribly like they did this year. Walker, Tyler Rogers and Doval are 3 examples of being overworked.
