Directly from @Chase Parham ’s note:
“Will McCausland wasn't available, Mike said, after throwing on Thursday and getting hot in the bullpen late during Friday's game. He said he was being cautious and didn't feel good about getting him up today.”
In a game we were ahead 13-4 after 6 innings, we managed to burn our Closer AND best remaining bullpen arm, who didn’t even enter the game. And it absolutely ended up costing us today. Was it the sole reason we lost? Of course not. But there’s no defending that. None.
