Kinda thought “shitty bullpen” had been etched in stone. Of course, a game like this one is one where descriptions just don’t provide any use.
Some are still performing around the same. Seager hasn’t dropped off much. Lowe and Garver have been solid. Heaney has maintained the same sort of uneven 5th starter performances he’s shown all year- no better, no worse. And Scherzer has been mostly excellent.
It’s sad to say, but it sure does look like they have quit. And if you look at it purely from a games remaining standpoint, especially considering they have multiple games left with Seattle, it’s ridiculous to think they would just quit like this. Mathematically speaking, they are very much in the playoff race. But realistically speaking, they know their bullpen will never allow success.
More than those two or we would not have fallen off this badly.
I really think it is a mental block for what ever the reason.
Just saying those two have fallen the farthest. Adolis has been their worst hitter not named Josh Smith, and Dunning has been their worst starting pitcher. That’s quite the fall from grace for both. The other players who aren’t playing well either weren’t playing well to begin with (bullpen) or weren’t playing like All-Stars (Duran, Taveras, Jankowski).
Yes I agree. One or two can't carry a team. Much to do.
I guess.lol
Tell me about it. What a messed up situation
