I do not consider myself an apologist for Alex Wood, but ever since he put on his #57 jersey I have found myself in that position. It seems that most Dodgers fans want the team to have five Aces. Alex Wood is not an Ace, or anywhere near a top of the rotation pitcher. He is what he has always been a good #5. Like all #5 SP, not every game is going to be solid. Not even for Aces. When Alex was traded in December 2018 to Cincinnati, I was forlorn, but also excited to see him go to a team where the expectations were not nearly as high.
Should Be 3-0, But…
