It's the time of year when baseball has become stratified. Players have been traded from losers to winners. Teams have gone into sell mode and rent mode, dumping contracts and bringing in late-season help as they see fit. Outcomes seem to be falling into place, and on a larger scale, maybe they are.

Yesterday, Tsuyoshi Nishioka had a really rough day. 0/5 at the plate 2 errors in the field, one of them on the first grounder he saw back in the big leagues.Mostly, I just feel bad for him at this point.
