Bailey Falter vs. Cris Sanchez

Falter's disaster as the #5 starter last year opened the door for Sanchez to become one of the league's biggest surprises.

I am not a fan at all of Sanchez like some. Not surprising that Falter is having success against this lineup. Marsh has been the only one worth anything.

This team couldn't hit Beetle Bailey right now.

Merrifield is making me wistful for the Josh Harrison days.

Beat me to it. Merrifield shows me nothing

Wow. Just wow. Defense has been a train wreck and it looks like the are deciding to swing before the pitch is thrown. Castellanos I am used to that. Needed to ditch that mistake this off season

Any left handed pitcher shuts these guys down

Not a fan of a pitcher who went 6, gave up only 1 ER?

He's a 4/5 right now and always gives the team a chance.

In August/September, he was one of the best in the NL.
