Four solo shots can't beat one grand slam. Peterson has now been useless for two whole months. (He's well above his previous high in IP [128], but he really aught to be able to handle a mature workload by now, his ninth season as a pro.)
Who on earth is "Hamel"? Cole Hamels's illegitimate son? Alan Hamel? Veronica Hamel? Ben Gamel, adopting a Spanish pronunciation for no discernable reason? I thought the Mystery Bullpen was supposed to settle down in September.
Jose Tartabull was the epitome of why Baseball nearly died in the 1960s. Didn't hit for average, didn't hit for power, didn't draw walks. Bill James probably wrote something about him, given that both he and Danny played in KC.
Playoff rotation:
Manaea
