We really took for granted how much the pen was pitching well their capability. Now that the rotation injuries have caught up, the pen is too human and can’t hold a deficit and here we are.
it seems like the top of the order has struggled a lot since they moved Busch to leadoff. Managers exploit the lefty heavy top of the order by bringing in lefties from the pen and instead of Busch hitting with runners on you have Happ and Swanson. I’m waiting for the power to pick back up, which means Suzuki doubles his career high in home runs.
