If you haven’t followed our riveting saga, you can check out earlier Wheat/Chaff editions here. Suffice it to say, so far Chaff is winning but if the post-season has taught us anything it’s that it’s never over till it’s over and the underdog reigns supreme.
It has also taught us that your closer shouldn’t throw 3-2 “chase” changeups to .165 hitters who are just trolling for a walk because they can’t really hit — but we’re not here to talk about the past. We’re here to talk about young players trying to establish themselves on a 112 loss team.
