Well, here's what's different.
16 of the 29 at-bats with runners in scoring position came from guys that weren't here last year.
Keep that in mind.
One for 16 from the new guys.
Bo Bichette was one for six.
Marcus Simeon, who I thought was a dog in this series, was 0 for 4.
Polanco 0 for 1.
Benj 0 for 3.
Robert 0 for 2.
So I get it.
I know for us, we're always here.
It feels the same, but it's tough to connect it when you've got new players contributing to more than a half of the plate appearances with runners in scoring position.
No, it doesn't feel connected.
I think this is actually...
It feels more like new people in a new place trying to find their bearings.
That's what it feels like.
I mean, ultimately, I think they're going to be fine.
But it is a little disconcerting because the same thing happened last year.
And it's not like you can blame the coaching staff because they fired everybody.
Right.
