Look at Barnes numbers before Philly. Also the pen was overworked early. The bottom line is the pen was created for 2017 'on a wing and prayer,' as it should have been for a club in rebuilding process.
Those bouncers tonight change the game if they 'bounce' the other way. Maybe the pen is 'bad.' I think it is mediocre and the 'luck' has turned.
Regardless, being in the race is awesome and knowing that the club is 'ready' come next year is fun.
Back to the bullpen..
They are fluid for all teams (other than the ones with A+ guys, Dodger guy comes to mind). Heck, that Nats just traded for guys that got hit hard tonight.
Enjoy this. I suspect this team isn't done yet,
