98 from a left-handed reliever isn’t good?

It's solid, but the lack of movement this year and significant drop in spin, year over year has led to hitters being able to hit the once video game like pitches they were facing last year.

2021: 4 Seam 2340 Slider 2185

2020: 4 Seam 2503 Slider 2415

Three straight sliders to Vaughn.  The scoring report is pretty apparent on how to beat him.

He’s going to have to make some significant adjustments at the plate.  It’s really pathetic how much development they wasted with him and Crochet, all because they were too freaking cheap.

Boy is this team going through it right now. The big question is, are they going to be able to bounce back and dominate again. Or will they let this slump define them.

We will be able to hold afloat. But we aren't nearly as good as we looked before. Regression is hitting hard.

Neither, I suspect.  They will continue to be streaky, and without some additions, it’s going to a tough go to keep Cleveland at bay.

Is it regression or is it just going through a rough patch, as all teams, even the best ones, go through? 

Hard to know, really, especially with all the injuries. Shades of 2020 and 2012 though.

My biggest fear is how it will cost us in the coming years.  Crochet is getting nowhere near enough innings to even be a starter by 2023.  Kopech is going to struggle to get enough innings in his current role to be fully ramped up to start for 2022.  Vaughn is being asked to learn how to adjust to major league hitting in a quasi platoon role.  So not only are they failing to develop them appropriately, we’re burning through valuable service time.
