A 7-1 mark through games 2 and 3 sure feels really good.
It's hard to convey how absolutely huge last night's 'W' was for Biloxi. Their pitching staff continues to do some extremely heavy lifting and it's important to remember that Barrons bullpen is no joke - they've been dominant essentially the entire season. BUT, as I've been saying for the past two months: the Shuckers bullpen is the team's lifeblood. Coming into tonight's contest, after last night's 1-0 pitchers duel (described above), 61 of the Shuckers 115 games have been decided by two runs or less. Naturally, I manually looked at this last night after I asked "2-7 in one run games? How many two run games have they had?! It feels like a lot." and then it's featured in today's 'Game Notes'!!😅 Could have saved myself some scrolling and tallying. None the less, after last night the Shuckers Pen boasts a 3.25 ERA on the season in 495 1/3 IP. 582 K. 174 BB. Such an underrated group.
