Bello, Kutter, Tanner and Pivetta should be solid for the 2024 rotation
Sale and Paxton to me are question marks.
If we can get quality starters off season, knock Pivetta to the pen (or maybe keep Pivetta in the rotation and knock Tanner to the pen)

Another reason to keep Urias around is that he's the only righty on the team that doesn't flail wildly in the batter's box.

Thank god things are moving. Not scoring on the Rangers’ pen would be shameful.

It's time to make the nasty reliever switch.

Second and third and nobody out... What do we think, 30% chance of getting at least one run?

I hope in Cora’s post-game comments tonight he is as complimentary of Jordan Montgomery as he can possibly can be without crossing the line of tampering. Or you know what, maybe even tiptoe over. “Montgomery looked amazing tonight - whoever gets him as a free agent is going to be very happy. He’s going to be worth the money.” Start the recruitment early, Alex!

Whitlock is a definitely reliever, but Houck definitely has starter stuff, they just need to refine his pitch usage

Krawford throws a great start against a big offense and no sooner does he come out than Will Flemming say "Boy, if the Red Sox pick up a couple starters this winter, Crawford is going to look great in the bullpen! Drives me nuts. The guy is a starter, has been a starter, has developed in to a a really good starters in stretches (esp. vs MFY) and everyone keeps trying to kick him to the bullpen. I love him as the 5th starter next year.

Refsnyder hugely overdue for that. Good guy to have against a junk pitcher like Smith. Sufficient patience.

Yeah and after 75 pitches doesn’t look good, but I think he’s an example where our game planning is weak. He needs to leverage his slider against lefties more consistently. I still have faith in him improving his command profile to go deeper, but time will tell!

Duvall is wildly powerful. Terrible swing and hit it 360 feet at 97 MPH. Crazy strength

Loading the bases with an IBB to face a guy who has a .430 OBP vs. lefties was awfully dumb there by Bochy.

Pitches 51-75 he has a .924 ops against him. Think he's a perfect candidate for a multi inning relief role so we can have Winck, Martin, and Kenley settled in a 7,8,9 role really well.
