The creative spirit of invention is one of the greatest things about being alive, but, and this cannot be stressed enough, not all ideas are good ideas.
Maybe it was a bad idea to let Nick Margevicius start this game, seeing as how the last time we saw Nicky Marge he was laboring in the fifth inning against a COVID-depleted Astros team. Fatigue, we were told. Nothing too big to worry about. And a 7-2 victory over the loathsome Astros helped wash away the remembrance of Marge being lifted mid at-bat after throwing three pitches nowhere near the strike zone, or the fact that it took him almost 80 pitches to get through four innings.
