I was kind of expecting a meltdown with the news on DeGrom.  It wasn't a good sign when he requested an extra day of rest for 2 starts in a row.

Hope this is minor and he is 100% soon.

Sounds like Carrasco is about to join the starting rotation and Thor should join the fray in late May/early June.

Kind of glad Nimmo is on the injured list for his finger.  Maybe it will give his hip time to heal properly.  He plays so hard he tends to get banged up and it is hard to take him out for any length of time because he is so important to the team.  Pillar needs to step up.  I think he will.

Same thing with Villar at 3rd filling in for Davis.

Personally, I would like to see Nido used more.  When he is in, good things seem to happen a lot.  McCann has really been struggling and probably could use some rest.  I don't think he is used to playing every day.

Regarding Lindor, I think it was good to sit him down for a game.  He looks lost mentally.  When he gets back in the lineup, I would like to see him hit 7th or 8th for a bit.  Nimmo and McNeil are terrific in the 1 and 2 slots, Alonso does well in the 2 hole.  Take a little pressure off Lindor and maybe it will help him get off the snide.
