1/2 game out of the playoffs!

Even though I consider myself the vice president of the "expanded playoffs are bad for baseball" club; I'm not above celebrating the fact that being around a .500 team might be good enough to be a playoff team and will almost certainly be good enough to be in the hunt when my team is a ~.500 team. This was an ugly week, glad they salvaged the last one in both series. But, good reminder that we will not be playing the Braves and Phillies every game.

I think spending $20m on a closer is not a great use of resources because of the volatility but the value in having a top shelf closer is pretty evident when said top shelf closer is fighting through it. Hopefully Diaz finds his command. I'm not going to excuse this week and a half in full, but I do think missing an entire season isn't nothing.

I would sign up for one of Baty/Vientos becoming Bohm and that was before Bohm's start to this season. In fact I wouldn't need to think twice about it. It would help immensely if one of them was a serviceable 3B.
