GDT: 8/18: Braves vs San Fran - Giant Strides

A better attempt would have been pointing out that Lorenzen gave up 7 runs to the Nats

Yeah if someone is going to use the outcome single games to “prove their point”, they gotta use more impactful examples than Strider shutting down the Giants.

The time to make that comment was after Elder finally pitched another good game.
 
Lorenzen is projected (current + zips) at 2.3 fWAR

Elder is projected at 2.2 fWAR

Doesn't appear to be much difference.

There’s not a difference. Lorenzen made sense as a 5th starter upgrade and insurance if someone got injured (both are valid reasons). I’m just not sure he’s a guy that makes a modicum of difference in the postseason.
