Appearances
It's not like they have some rubber armed, low leverage guy who's soaking up all these innings.
voice-verified
Like this group of Flew Hardy, Fisher, Rogers, Varland, and Miles, they have been absorbing the workload and they just don't seem any worse for where.
voice-verified
We are in the final stretch of the season here, and they're still delivering at a really high level.
voice-verified
I think it's fair.
voice-verified
To describe them as the strength of the team.
voice-verified
When you look at the rotation, obviously Cease is there and it's promising with Soriano, but there's been so much chaos.
voice-verified
As much as the defense has been solid, you just cannot describe this lineup as the strength of the team because they don't score enough runs.
voice-verified
It is this core group of relievers, and we saw most of them in this game, basically in the roles you expect to see them, where Fluhardy's coming in in a critical spot, potentially mid-in.
voice-verified
Because you're hunting a specific matchup.
voice-verified
And then, you know, Seawold was a little bit of a curveball there, but you really didn't want Flu Hardy to pitch to Bobby Wood Jr.
voice-verified
That was an understandable impulse.
voice-verified
I think, you know, they're likely saving miles for the next game for opening.
voice-verified
And I don't know, you could quibble with that, but then you got Rogers and Varland as your eighth and ninth inning guys.
voice-verified
And there's a bit of that wobble with Rogers, right?
voice-verified
Where he gives up the two hits.
voice-verified
But often when a reliever gives up two hits, that's some kind of indication that the stuff isn't sharp and the wheels might be falling off.
voice-verified
With Rogers, it just feels a little bit like statistical variance, like he's giving up kind of goofy contact.
voice-verified
And the first single is fine, but the second one was.
voice-verified
Was just a ground ball because the hole was there.
voice-verified
A lot of times when Rodgers gives up hits, it doesn't actually mean he's pitching any worse.
