With 10 games left, the Sidewinders have a 33% chance of making the diamond league playoffs. Carried by pitching and defense, we've definitely got a shot. Phil Niekro worked out, and while Wilbur Wood has been eh..., we lead the league in hits allowed and opponents batting average despite being 4th in defensive efficiency (Jose Altuve didn't hit enough to make up for his lousy D, so he's back to just DH/PH duties). Good luck to anyone else left in the chase!
As for cycling relief pitchers out, either I have a guy who I know is definite upgrade, or I just wait for them to hit a cold patch. I'd rather delay implementing a strategy if I'm winning mid season, usually feels like you're rolling the dice because your new acquisition could have a cold start, vs. the performance you're already seeing.
