The return of Carlos “Cookie” Carrasco to Cleveland has been a beautiful thing. But, all good things must come to an end.
I think it’s time to end the Carrasco starting pitcher experiment. He may find a spot in the bullpen. But, not even pairing him with catching savant Austin Hedges is helping him avoid getting tagged for six runs a start right now.
There are other issues. Nick Sandlin looks bad, again, after starting the year out strong with a heavy splitter usage mix. He gets tatooed seemingly every time out. And, the Guardians can only hit singles (they had four and two walks in this game).
