The Mudcats are indeed 7-2 in the early second half. However, if you've watched their games it is quite obvious the quality and depth of their current bullpen is their weakness. Reyes comes aboard to relieve Sanchez and fell behind immediately to the first hitter. Then gave up the game-tying single to LF. Now walked the next batter on four pitches (tho, he was clearly squeezed on ball four). When the starters don't give length - much like Torres tonight - the Muddies very much lack any semblance of consistent inning eaters amongst their troops.
And, now Made gets a routine grounder to SS. Casually makes a toss to 2B. The runner beats the toss - and Peña was late to the bag regardless - instead of taking the easy out at 1B. AND, now Reyes has tossed a wild pitch to the backstop.
These Mudcats so often play like young Mudcats. That's a throwing error on Made tonight and a non-chalant error (tho not credited) to extend this inning. SIGH. AND, this homeplate ump is very much squeezing Reyes. What a combo. 😅 Muddies trail 7-6 headed to the bottom of the 8th.
