Dylan Lee

And I, I feel somewhat the same.

[chuckles] I know Dylan Lee and Iggy have been a bit questionable here lately.

You don't really necessarily know the status of Robert Suárez.

But if those four are on, in Lee and Iggy, Fuentes, and Suárez, you feel really great about your chances.

Um, you know, really, really no matter what happens, I think you just take a shot that Suarez is healthy, back, ready for the post-season.

I think he'll be on there.

Dylan Lee too, and Dylan Dodd.

And then I think it comes down to the last four starts.

So I mean, not a, not a grand difference, not some massive jump, but still, man, you owe him $32 million guaranteed the next two years.

You're also, I mean, this bullpen, the way Fuentes is throwing and Iglesias and if Dylan Lee can find it, and Dylan Dodd, who's like barely pitched now for a few weeks but has been good for the most part.

Like this bullpen could be an absolute unit, like Night Shift 2.0 if they can get people healthy and firing.

Yeah, the Dodd stuff has also been a little weird to me.

Like he's only pitched like one time in almost three weeks now, so or maybe two weeks.

So I don't know, you know, sometimes it's just game situation but I would, I, I would love to clinch sometime this weekend and then over the next few days get Dodd in there, get Dylan Lee, you know, give Dylan Lee multiple chances to get back on the horse a little bit.

He's had a rough second half.

Get Robert Suarez, you know, some outings in Atlanta.

He's giving up at home right around about 1.6 home runs per nine innings, .454 ERA, .243 ERA away from home with about 0.9 home runs per nine innings, and he's backed up by that Atlanta Braves bullpen that has been in the top two in the National League in terms of ERA.

You've had Didier Fuentes along with Dylan Lee, Dylan Dodd, Raycio Iglesias all give you a sub-3.50 RA.

Brent Suter in a Braves uniform has been able to give you a sub-3 RA.

Victor Medeiros gives you some long relief.

I would assume he's probably down tomorrow as well.

Dylan Dodd and Dylan Lee don't show up on the report as having pitched.

They both warmed up yesterday.

So that's something, if they warmed up yesterday, and if you use them for anything but a short outing today, they could potentially be down tomorrow.

Sunday is going to be a virtual off day for the bullpen.

If you have Mason Miller, Rysel Iglesias, Joan Duran, Didier Fuentes, Dylan Lee, any of the set-up men, certainly any of the Padre set-up men, Marjon or Bradley Rodriguez or any of those holds league types, you can safely drop them after Saturday with very little concern otherwise.

Now, the guys in the competitive teams, those guys I would expect to pitch on Sunday because they won't be pitching until Friday anyway.

So they're going to want to have as much time off for those guys or as little time off, pardon me, for those guys as possible, given that they're already going to have more than they would ideally be.

Forgotten? Relief pitcher.

Dylan Lee.

Oh, my God.

Who at that point wasn't even a member of the night shift or anything important on that team.

And I've said this multiple times.

If you get Suarez back, that you can line up Dylan, Suarez, and Iggy, and now say to Didier, all right, the fifth and sixth are yours.

I love that idea.

I do like the idea of half the game.

Without Suarez, it changes the math on, again, the ability.

The Braves don't have anything else that's overwhelming compared to anybody else in the postseason except Didier.

So Suarez, if Dylan Lee is right, and by the way, that's an F right now, and then Iggy in the end.

We've been using the runway analogy a lot.

Forgotten? Relief pitcher.

Dylan Lee.

Oh, my God.

Who at that point wasn't even a member of the night shift or anything important on that team.
