Well this last 3.5 months proves the bats are there. But pitching and more the managing of the pitchers, starters and the pen. Leaving Bassitt in the extra inning and Lauer in to give up yet another HR this game, is 3 runs the offense had to make up for bad pitching management issues in the last 2 games, and that’s if you ignore the way they handled Hoffman yesterday when it was clear right away he was not ready.
Will be an ongoing issue.
Nance, as per the stats posted above and just the way he handles things, looks like he’s calm and comfortable and confident.
Already has a nice playoff beard.
