C, you don’t seem to be much for writing about Harden, but I’d be interested to know what his take is on being pushed all the way back to the Dodgers series due to the rainout. He’s been on such a roll as of late!
I agree mymlb not even a mention of Harden. I could not imagine Lou thinks the match-ups are better without Harden. I guess we’ll never know.
