So the Las Vegas White Tigers wrapped up the division with 5 games to play.
Now I need to have a good long talk with my lineup about how just because Syndergaard is pitching doesn't mean you get to take the day off. I got Thor pretty late in the season, he's started 7 games, he's pitched 9 innings in 4 of them, 8 innings in another, and 7 1/3 and 6 1/3 in the other 2. He's got a 2.50 ERA, a 0.82 WHIP, he's walked all of 7 guys in 7 games, he has more strikeouts than walks and hits combined, and he's 1-1. He's allowed a total of 7 runs over 33 1/3 innings in his last 4 games combined, and all 4 were no decisions; 3 went to extra innings. Our offense scored only 9 runs in the first 9 innings of those 4 games combined.
It's not even like we're a bad offense, we're 4th in HRs and 6th in runs (our average sucks, we're a power hitting team with guys like Khrush and Carpenter and Encarnacion). It's just whenever it's his turn our bats don't show up.
