This game merely reinforces my opinion the the Official Scorer should be given the authority to override the formulaic determination of the winning and losing pitchers, when deserved. In this case, I believe that Canelon pitched well enough to earn the victory, while Manoah got rocked.

Hey Herb, I agree totally with you on Canelon and Manoah, especially in rookie leagues. A lot of times, it may take many games before they'll let certain newbies go 5 innings. Why not lower it to 3 innings for the short season leagues?
Sometimes you "win" when you lose...as in Las Vegas' case. Gorski pitches very well, and Dekker, Muno, Puello and Flores all have great offensive nights.
T J Rivera just keeps doing what he does best - hit, and Michael Katz has been very impressive so far. Conforto will soon give aid and comforto to Met fans!
So far, the Brooklyn team's offense centers around Urena, Rosario, Katz, and now Conforto. Combined they are hitting .305. Rest of team is around .205. All 4 are on the stat sidebar to your right, and all 4 look like guys to really watch.
Lots of folks probably focusing on Conforto's 5 for 12 start - I am as impressed that he has not struck out yet.
