Looks like another one of "those" games. Base running blunder already and Nola looking like he belongs in A ball. This team is so damned schizo.

Nola may be washed

Outside of a terrible first inning he’s pitching really well. Keep in mind he missed a lot of time this year so he’s gonna take a bit to get back into his groove.

but let’s talk about the enigma of Kerkering. Dude blows it his last outing then comes in Tonight and is lights out.

But that’s Nola’s problem - recently (last 2 years at least) there’s always a really bad inning with a least one HR given up.

He’s been washed. His contract is one of the worst in baseball - about $25 million per year until 2030
The Nola contract will profoundly impact the roster for a long time. That deal will prevent them from resigning Ranger, IMO.

What GM would want the current version of Nola over Ranger?

There’s a domino effect coming due to the Nola, Casty and Walker deals which all look to be pretty bad decisions.
