Offense needs to be better, simple as that. When you're up against guys like Cody Ponce and Steven Brault and you have a decimated pen that really needs to be picked up, you gotta be able to scratch out a few runs.
Why do guys show less patience than normal when your run means nothing and getting on base is as valuable as anything else you can do? Wouldn't you want to be more patient?
You can really never have enough bullpen depth especially in the COVID era. This was 100% a bullpen loss. When you are up 3-0 on the Pittsburgh Pirates at home you need to get that one in the win column.
Perdomo just isn't very good. But we are very limited on current options. I'm surprised they haven't dabbled with a few more piggyback starts until the pen gets healthy again.
