Every team has a bullpen meltdown from time to time. This team still won the game. That makes me more confident.

And came back 30 minutes later and dominated again. That bad inning was an anomaly.

and....let's not forget that Robi did not pitch this weekend.

USA Today out Cajuns up two spots to #3

The fact we are winning while missing two starters is good, but we are still missing two starters, which is concerning. Coaches are generally famous for discounting injury status. Until they are back throwing strikes, then they are not back.

You may have not been able to tell on the screen,,but the mound was higher than ours. Some guys had trouble finding the release point. Matt had trouble with it from the start-- that is all it was. Bazar had some trouble also but threw a little harder and downhill so he was hard to hit. Others could not find a good release point and left the ball up-- thus balls flying out of the park.

No need to panic

Thought the mound height was regulated?

True, what can change is the slope.

It was noticably higher.. and the bullpen mound was lower-- so the longer you threw over there, the more it hurt you.
Some take longer to adjust..

I agree but in a tight game Robe would have stopped the bleeding as soon as the number got crooked.
