Couldn't walk when it happened apparently. It'll be mid-August at the earliest.

Go get a couple arms and it's probably time to see Birdsell once his rehab is done.

I think we have guys that can start but we need a third guy that can start a playoff game. I really believe we’ll be the team facing LA in the NLCS. The series is how we’ll be measured

Wasn’t 100% clear PCA touched first base. Looked like it but a couple of angles made it look unclear so stuck with the call on the field. Not egregious or anything.
Thank you. All the angles shown in park looked like he did. Crowd was nonplussed.

Adding a starter or 2 is going to get more costly if we keep having injuries to the rotation. The asks are going to be more when teams know we have a glaring need.

I'm not expecting much from Wicks but I hope he proves me wrong. Between the injuries and inconsistency he's shown so far just hope he can give us a decent 5 innings each time through the rotation to give us a chance.
