I can't imagine there has been many teams ever that can say their injured list of pitchers is better as a whole then their current list. We kicked off our starting catcher after 1 week and lose our starting 2nd baseman for over a month. This season has been beyond a miracle.

I get mad a lot but what we've accomplished with what we were dealt is just insane. How many teams around the country would have even come close to a regional losing what we did?

Have to assume there is some turnover on the staff. Honestly, the offense has let this team down down the stretch.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Forgot to add that we kicked off a weekend starter in Cyr

 

[Joe Mayo]

I agree with the offense has been bad lately but I wonder sometimes if our pitchers walking batter after batter has taking a toll on our hitters and they're getting more and more frustrated and pressing a little more at the plate. Granted some of our guys have awful approaches regardless but it makes me wonder.

Also lost S Price for a few weeks to a high ankle sprain... Don't forget hand injury to Mangum.

Mangum marze and cyr make 11 pitchers lost.

And Self for a little while also with tenderness....

Pilk is the only one that we can honestly say is really good/talented and has gone wire to wire at 100% health. Most of the other ones that have remained relatively healthy wouldn't have had much in the way of roles had we not had the injuries... Some are talented, but they just don't have it all together yet.
