Also, if someone gets hurt as you mentioned pitchers are a delicate bunch. Will they be able to move him back and have him pick up where he left off? Bottom line is don't screw up a good thing. All that being said, what would you do? You talked around what you believe should be done, but you ducked actually making a specific recommendation.
May 6, 20241 yr Nice win but I'm gonna nit-pick. I'm not gonna say anything we all don't know but this team strikes out way too much. They struck out 11 out of their last 12 plate appearances. They had a game last week where they struck out something like 18 or 19 times. Hey, at least the Braves keep losing and it is nice to have a lead in the division for a change.
May 6, 20241 yr Hoffman won that game stranding the runner on 3rd in the 8th. Another series win and another win on top of a Braves loss. Couldn’t have asked for a better start right now and hopefully they keep it up for a long one

May 6, 20241 yr I come home from work and turn on the Phillies and immediately Bryce 3 run bomb! Let’s go Phillies
May 6, 20241 yr Glad Harper finally got to that pitcher I'm sick of hearing about him. Hopefully his parents sit down now and shut up

Every year for 5 or 6 years we had to hear how Vinny V was gonna make this jump which never came. Throwing the guy out from LF was impressive too.
