Doesn't matter if they are in the games. They need to win. They could, and should, have won 3 of 4 in that series. SP needs to be more efficient, defense needs to be better, and for the love of everything, they need to hit with men on base, with risp. They need timely hitting. If they don't, they're going to continue to lose 1 and 2 run ballgames and it will be the death of the team.
I am usually a very optimistic person...but the optics right now look like dogshit and shades of the last 10 years of baseball, minus 2020.
It's early, certainly not time to panic or jump ship, but this is the time to be concerned and not let it get out of control.
