We really need a real #4 @ #5 bats in the lineup. We have a designated for assignment guy batting cleanup, and a failed number 1 pick batting 5th. Not saying they’re terrible, but those are number 7-9 hitters.
Abbott only went 6 IP in 2 of his 6 starts and incl a 4 IP start. Bailey went 6 IP or more in 4 of his 6 starts. Bailey has superior BAA and Whip. Abbott allowing 2 earned runs vs Bailey's 3 earned runs, wouldn't be enough for me. Ray allowed 6 earned runs. I like Bailey's chances.

They really need to trade a starting pitcher for a bat. Plenty of teams that actually want to compete need pitching.
Bailey Falter in May: Six starts. 0.76 era.
That's NL Pitcher of the Month stuff!
He should be considered but there will be strong competition from Abbot (leads in ERA) and Ray (leads in WAR and actual wins):

Top of the lineup went 7 for 14. 4 runs scored, 3 RBI. That's what's good!
Booyah!!! Nice bounce back after last night. Can take the series tomorrow. Raise it!!!!!
Raise it!
7-4 in the last eleven. Let’s take another series tomorrow.
I predicted that they’ll win one game on this road trip……😳. I know baseball.
It was the frustration talking!
hoping they give endy the start tomorrow
OMG!! How did Hank not get rung up on that 3-2 pitch? He must have earned that respct since last night…..
79 pitches? Is Falter that fragile?
Score and the long wait in the bottom of the 6th. I’d prefer he stay out, but it it is what it is.
Bailey Fucking Falter ACE ladies and gentlemen! Fanboy #1 is pleased with his months work.
He is everyone's BFF
Love Kelly changing his mind to send falter back out to start the 7th.
And Bailey F Falter! Damn, dude!
What a ridiculous month he put in. So different from watching the guys with overwhelming stuff. I love how he trusts his approach.
Surprised Bailey back out especially after sitting for a while since he got done with the 6th….
Hit post and here comes Donnie. Sorry for the jinx Bailey……
Matsui getting statcasted by the Cruz, Cutch and brey - each over 100 mph.
The horwitz gorks in the back breaker.
Its about time we got some of those to fall
Horwitz rips the ball into short left field. Who says he can't hit lefties? 😐
3 good hits in a row and then the shot by Horwitz off a lefty lol.
