This team goes on small winning and losing streaks, the Padre series really show the effect of losing Antone. We held on for a bit vs. Milwaukee, but San Diego can hit, and we just didn't have enough to finish those games. Largely, the last few weeks, the bullpen has over performed, not under performed. We just know that when you constantly have to go to the pen 4-5 innings a night, it's going to have an effect. Then last night's extra inning game didn't help.
But, as I've said before, this teams problem is alot more hitting than people want to say. Hitting if ok, but SCORING is the problem. I've always said you have to score 5-6 runs per game to win. scoring 4 or below, with our bullpen is a recipe for disaster. And we do nothing to try to manufacture any runs. It's all station to station. We've had poor baserunning again today.
