What is the story about?
It’s Nola Day. He’ll be taking the mound tonight for the rubber match against the Dodgers. It’s not news to you that Nola has struggled this season and last. But he’s been solid over his past trio of starts, allowing three runs in two of them, and two in the other. Prior to that he had a seven-ER clunker, but before that, another trio of games with no more than three runs allowed. Of course, his old enemy, the long ball, has still been a problem: all three of the runs in his last start came on solo
shots, and he’s only had one homer-free game in his last seven starts.
All of which is to ask: has Nola’s unspectacular but solid performance over his past few starts changed how you’re feeling about him?
