Rafaela's "swinging at everything" mode is back. Give him a couple of days off to refocus in his pitching recognition.

And this is why bullpen games are such bad ideas.  Only Slaten is rested and 3 others coming off 17 or fewer pitchers are likely available but possibly not at the top of their game.  Bello is off, and Whitlock and Chapman likely as well.

Hopefully Gray can go 7 strong…

The schedule doesn't list stalwart Seth Martinez!

Also, they could have saved more arms if Bello went longer than 4 IP.

Ouch!  Today's chart feels like we used a lot of BP time in a loss.

[FredLynn]

Rafaela needs to get back to taking more pitches

[FredLynn]

And Contreras needs to stop swinging at balls a foot outside

As I said earlier he’s on swinging at everything mode again. He should take a day or two to reset.

When a team has come back to Earth, it may take a while to get their land legs working.
