B FosterHostCoachHostI didn't get a chance to see yesterday's game, but I looked at the box scores and some of the other notes, and it looked like a May game.
Had a lead going into the late innings, and because of the lack of success in May with the bullpen, it has kind of trickled over.
And, you know, they blew it in the ninth.
What, Salve hit a home run? Of course, he's hitting like 210 this year after he had a great year last year.
But I think father time is finally catching up to him.
But, you know, he's been a Tiger killer his whole career.
You know, it's just, it's the offense.
Honestly, the last few days, it's the offense.
It's just nowhere to be found.
And really, over this four-game series, they had one good game offensively.
That was it.
And I was in person there today.
I'll tell you, if it wasn't for that error and some luck, they may have only scored two runs today.
So thank God Kansas City couldn't field, otherwise they wouldn't have even had the lead to come back to begin with.
Riley was the only, I think Dingler was the only legitimate hit that drove in runs that wasn't from walks or an error or misplay.
So they kind of hung by on some luck the last two games, honestly.
But starting pitching was great, continues to be pretty good, but it's just inefficient.
We're killing our bullpen because these guys are throwing 97 pitches through five innings.
And then we got to piece it together with a bunch of 4A minor leaguers that just can't get it done, and a dinosaur in Kenley Jansen who has no other pitch than a dead cutter.
Hey, you know what, though? Kenley Jansen quietly has been on quite a tear the last month.
In his last 30 days, that might be slightly incorrect, but in his last 30 days, he's got an opponent batting average of 161 and an ERA of 312.
He's quietly got under four, and yeah, he's been fairly clean as of late, but this is what killed me yesterday.
