Not short-sighted at all. Just my opinion. I see nothing in Thornton that will prove me wrong. All I care is about wins and losses and ERA. He got hit pretty hard by an awful hitting Giants team (hitting .212 as a team)

Let's see what happens. It's not like we have anyone to replace him with anyways. So we are stuck with him for now.


The issue is that wins and losses and ERA aren't particularly predictive, and predictive value is really what you need. ERA and wins will tell you what happened, but they do a poor job of telling you what will happen. And when one's chief concern is determining who should stick around for games to come, that's the important bit.

5.79 era, 4.57 fip, 3.74 xfip with a hr/9 of 1.93 for Thornton

Giving up 2 home runs per nine isn't a good sign but has been a little unlucky, overall.

Teoscar's baserunning is annoying.

Plot twist: Drury starts at 3B and Vlad Jr. is used a pinch hitter.
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."
