Holiday comes back after the break. The pitching, especially the bullpen gets a rest. Mo likely makes a move for a left handed bat at 1st. Reynolds goes back to the bench where he provides some pop when needed and more importantly, won't provide opposing pitchers guaranteed 2-3 K's per game.

I see things coming back together after the break. I only wish Molina was not at the AS Game. Would love to see him get 4-5 days off...

Not sure I completely agree with Matheny pulling pitchers after 6 or 7 innings like it is some sort of religion. He needs to let a few of these guys go a little longer. I under stand the need to save their arms but he has taxed this bullpen to the point where there are too many injuries and they are now far less effective...

All-in-all, I'll take a 56-33 record at the All-Star break any year...
