I don’t agree with bringing him in for this situation at all, after beating cancer, when he needs that adrenaline from closing to pitch well. The results unfortunately show why this was bad move.
I still think Kopech figured something out. He was dynamite after that awful first. He needs to limit those innings and he’ll be good.
Now, can the entire offense stop slumping at the same time?
I don't normally get upset about bullpen usage because it's a crap shoot, but Kelly was clearly struggling today and giving up a ton of hard contact. Should have gotten him out after the double.
I bet Romy makes that play at second, and Hanser isn’t hitting well enough to overcome that awful defense - which is really sad, given what Romy has done this year.
