Why does it seem to me like the bullpen is bound and determined to lose this game, despite what the bats are doing? With at least 6 runs allowed in 4 innings, an absolutely disgusting display from this mediocre bullpen.
Why didn't Rocco leave Sands in for this inning, with only 8 pitches thrown? Or is there some rule in his analytical spreadsheet that says that relief pitchers are not allowed to pitch multiple innings in a game.
If we’re not already there, I think we're rapidly approaching total system meltdown time. Might be nearing time to start cleaning house, from management through to the players, because this has gotten way beyond ridiculous.
