I believe they said last night that base stealers were perfect against Kimbrel last year. 

 

Blanco is lightning fast but this could be an on-going problem with him.

 

They did, but it was 12 attempts in like 70 innings.  And the second steal last night was very close to a CS.  I think it's a weakness, but not a fatal one.

I'm more worried about him sitting 92-94 than him holding runners. Unfortunately, one is going to lead to problems with the other.

Kremer was Kremer for sure last night.

 

Gives up just 3 hits and one walk but somehow manages to toss 85 pitches and allow 3 runs. He is what he is.

 

This team will be so much better IF Means and/or Bradish can get back in the rotation and we can move Wells to the bullpen.

Apparently he historically ramps up as the season goes on. Don’t know how to check if that’s true.

Wells > Kremer, I’d rather him stay in the rotation if he can manage the load.

Agree. Unfortunately I think its a pretty big if for Wells. Last two seasons showed pretty dramatically how quickly he hits a wall.
