Our pitching just isn’t the same as it was at the beginning of the season.
Nope
There was a point just a few weeks ago where we were discussing if we had the best rotation in the country. Now any time an opposing team gets someone on, I’m expecting a 6 or 7 run inning from them. What do you think happened? Romero happened, obviously, and King was over-performing, but it’s been a full on meltdown from top to bottom.
And how about that hitting…
No idea, really. Guys could be pressing a bit after Romero’s suspension. Could also just be conference play where these guys are facing teams that have faced them before. Cumbie could have also just been spent with his illness that kept him out of the game yesterday.
