Game 33: FIU 4/7/26

I’d also say the extent to which the defense, which is difficult to hide, is more problematic of late than the bullpen is because good starting pitching can do wonders to hide a bad bullpen.

OTOH West and Sheahan have probably each saved Bilka from a blown save over the last couple weeks with a late defensive play.

That was a rough RPI win. We dropped from 31st before Warren Nolan processed it to 37th. Unfortunately, FIU’s record is RPI poison this year.

WOW! I fell asleep just after the 3rd, woke up around 0345 and looked at the score. My first spoken words today were 'holy ****.' Made a cup of coffee, then read through this.
I'm actually glad I wasn't awake to see it, my ticker might've given out

Seba the defense is worse than our pen that by the way yesterday was horrendous.

I mean both aren't pretty but here's the way I look at it:

Defensively there are starters I can trust - Torres is coming back soon and is one of the best defensive CF in the conference and up there nationally, Odgen and Sheahan can make plays and Sosa does his job behind the plate. And the guys who aren't up to par defensively make up for it with their hitting (Williams, Cuvet, West). So defensively I know I have an elite CF and plus guys up the middle, where the corners are lacking but hit well.

Bullpen wise I genuinely only trust Dorn at the moment. There's some talent in that room but they have zero confidence or are rehabbing (Menendez can be elite but needs time to get up to speed). What makes the pitching struggles worse is that they cannot "make up for it" which impacts the team worse in my opinion and has costed us more games this season
