Yup and it would have made a big difference.  That one's on Bryce.  Not sure where his head was at.

He checked out after the hit streak ended. He doesn't seem to care right now.

Second day after the hitting streak ending is always the hardest.

When he gave up on the ball at the warning track against Miami is when I kind of realized he's checked out.

It's so nice not to have to rely on Blanton and Treinan.

He'll be back to beat whatever horse he was beating there again in the top of the 9th...

I really don't like Doolittle as the closer. Damn good pitcher but just think Kintzler or even Madson would be the better option. He almost always lets the first batter on.

True here but confirmation bias by that. Heyward was the first hit to a 1st batter all year. 1 for 27

Also Madson said he doesnt like closing, likes the 8th

New bullpen made that relatively stress free.
