Appearances
They have three home runs over that span with runners on base, which is tied for the fewest in Major League Baseball.
voice-verified
Uh their starters have pitched to an ERA above five.
voice-verified
Their bullpen is bottom 10 in the majors over that span in win probability added, with only one more shutdown than meltdown.
voice-verified
It's been right there for them, man, and they ch they just haven't played good baseball and frankly they're going out kinda like they played over the previous five and a half months, which is just not consistently at a high enough level.
voice-verified
Yeah, a hundred percent.
voice-verified
And it's like, how do you avoid doing that next year?
voice-verified
Well, we thought that they did what they needed to do to go to sufficient depth this year.
voice-verified
We were saying they have too many starters when they picked up Max Scherzer in the middle of the spring, right?
voice-verified
Like Eric Lauer was redundant and he was upset about his role because there was no chance that he was gonna get an opportunity to start given all the starting pitching depth that they had.
voice-verified
Well, look at them now.
voice-verified
They were, you know, for a a significant chunk of the season rocking with.
voice-verified
Bullpen games every fifth day, every fourth day.
voice-verified
Um and yeah, this is just the compounding effect of their depth getting absolutely decimated.
voice-verified
I think they did a really admirable job backfilling as they went, picking up Patrick Corbin, picking up Simeon Woods Richardson, picking up Jamison Tion.
voice-verified
But at some point, you know, you can only do so much if the injuries aren't going to relent.
voice-verified
And yeah, you're you're just they're they're paying the Piper at this point.
voice-verified
It was frankly probably.
voice-verified
Probably bound to happen.
voice-verified
But yeah, it's obviously unfortunate that it's all kind of unfolding right now when you know, as of two weeks ago, they were still in the playoff race and now uh it's just become too kind of insurmountable.
voice-verified
But um yeah, I mean the the the simple answer is you know continue, you know, building as much depth as possible, but also building up depth not just from the outside, also internally, so that you have guys who can reliably back.
