    It does bear repeating, however.

    Any offense that has 3 possible MVP candidates all batting in the top 3 or 4 of the order is going to be a really good offense. All 3 being great at the same time is the biggest difference between this year's offense, and any other year's offense... and that's including the additions of Reddick/McCann (which are still important, but don't make up the majority of why this team is so improved).

    At least Bregman is back.
    But yea. Missing 47 home runs and 133 RBI's in two players from your lineup stings a bit

    A healthier pitching staff should help negate any offensive dropoff, but the sad part is the potential records we might not obtain. The offense is achieving at an All-Time level pace. Keuchel likely missed another Cy due to his DNPs. I just hope we're healthy going into the playoffs.

    Yes.
    Should have been more specific there.

    I think Fisher will be able to mask Springers DL stint better offensively.

    He's wasn't even discussed weeks ago when sports writers were fanning over a 10-win Sale because he had more strikeouts to accompany his worse record, worse ERA, worse WHIP. If Keuchel comes back with the command he left with, I can see him getting to 16 or 17 wins with just a loss or two. Even a 17-2 record and sub 2.00 ERA, I can see him coming in a distant 2nd or 3rd in the results as even in the first half of June no one cared about him.

    He'd deserve it in my opinion.

    Keuchel picks up where he left off.

    DK's command is a bit off but this ump is being pretty stingy

    Keuchel needed 32 pitches. He looks rusty for sure.
