Collins solved his bullpen problem by using starters as long relievers- will he be able to do that in a seven game series? Also, I think he survived a blunder by putting Familia in for the 8th inning when Syndergaard was pitching so well. He could have pinch hit for Syndergaard and still have Familia. Instea dhe ahd to bat his closer and essentially give up a shot at an insurance run.
Love Daniel Murphy. He's a ballplayer's ball player. But he's no superstar. We need to get Wright, Cespedes and Duda going. Cespedes tries to hit a 400 foot homer on every pitch. Duda has that Mel Ott thing going but if his timing is off, he's pathetic. We're lucky to have Wright at all but we need more than him, too.
Yeah, I like Cespedes and all, but we can't sign him. He's just a band-aid for this season; gotta roll with Granderson, Conforto, and some combination of Cuddyer/Lagares/someone else next year. Don't want to lock down a flawed player for huge money.
