In his defense, yesterday turned into an epic trainwreck the likes of which we haven't seen out of this team all season. Just a perfect storm of terribleness. Even the most pessimistic of fans couldn't have predicted that. Absolutely agreed. I would say until last night, tho the bullpen had some hiccups recently, they were still reliable for the most part and a strength. After last night, trust needs to be restored and CC finds himself having to grapple with that.
