I'd go Mclean and it's not even close for meWho would get the wild card start if the game was next week, McLean or Peterson?
Love seeing him pitch through adversity. Seems to have what fellow North Carolina native Madison Bumgarner has mentally.

Holy !$&@?! - are you actually Keith Hernandez? Or did you just call him?This guy Jake Rodgers pitching looks like he should be singing in a barbershop quartet
Haaaaa you heard that too ? 12 minutes after my commentHoly !$&@?! - are you actually Keith Hernandez? Or did you just call him?
I read the comment and thought it was spot on. And then I hear Mex say it, unbelievable and hilarious!Haaaaa you heard that too ? 12 minutes after my comment![]()
I think people conflate “didn’t have his stuff” with “didn’t have his command” often.I think the McLean “didn’t have his stuff” is a bit of a misnomer. I think the salient point is he didn’t have command of the pitches the game plan intended on him using to start the game.
But he had the “stuff” to change the approach on the fly and get back on track quickly.
Very, very impressive.
Longevity in the bigs is about adjusting and he and Torrens did it beautifully.

But yes, the way he battled until he found his command was impressive. And then once he started rolling he was unhittable. Retired the last 14 batters.
His pitches sometimes move like a wiffle ball. And I think you are right that he is not always sure where it is going by that whipping leg action he has after releasing the ball.Sometimes he reminds me of a knuckleballer - his stuff has so much movement that I'm not entirely sure he knows where it's going all the time.
Really a joy watching this kid pitch.
Consistently pushing the wrong button.Typical Mendoza. The relievers should start a class-action lawsuit towards this guy.
I want it on the record that I posted that before the HR.Hefner has just worked his magic with Ryan Helsley. Amazing.
Great call by Mendoza. You just don’t want to win too many in a row.![]()
