Man, the offense went in a heartbeat from totally anemic to en fuego.

Finally an appropriate spot for Valdez

Nice test for Valdez, coming into a higher-leverage situation in a one run game. Just what some folks on the board were asking for yesterday

Now Valdez REALLY looks like Pedro
Hopefully Iglesias is ok

Last 6 pitches of the inning were changeups. Stopped messing around with a man on and went to his bread and butter

Thank you Valdez. Make it impossible for Cora to stick you in garbage time

Valdez two games in a row. Has he moved into Cora’s circle of trust?

Cora did not get to watch him first hand last year when Valdez was just as effective as he is this season. So he's been getting the eyeball test. The manager may like what he sees.

Hot take: Josh Taylor is a totally fine middle reliever.

Nice play by JD

Taylor had a 2.79 ERA since April 10th before today, with 11 K/9, and no one can be convinced that he's anything other than dead awful.

I think that’s 7 straight scoreless appearances for Taylor, it’s probably about time we rethink our stance of him based off of a couple early April games
I liked 2019 Taylor a lot, hopefully we continue to get this version of him

In fairness to myself he dug himself a DEEP hole to start off the season He had quite a string of poor performances. If he’s able to continue this it would be a huge positive

Mind blowing that Chavis is getting pitches lower than his letters

If he’s able to continue this it would be a huge positive If by "quite a string of poor performances" you mean "1 IP across two games in which he had a 2.12 FIP and 3.85 xFIP," then yes.
