In the second game of the season, concerns emerged as the top lineup struggled again, contributing little offensively in a loss. The two through four hitters combined for a disappointing 1-12 performance. Meanwhile, Tanner Houck's troubling pitching exhibited a lack of command, especially with his splitter. Although he managed to survive 5.2 innings, his performance isn't sustainable. In contrast, Kristian Campbell demonstrated improvement in his approach at the plate. Upcoming games, including a matchup against Tyler Mahle, present an opportunity for the team to regain offensive momentum and bounce back.
The top of the lineup didn't produce for the second day in a row; that was the story of the day.
When Houck was at his best last season, he was throwing his splitter in the zone and getting whiffs.
Kristian Campbell seemed more composed and put together some nice at-bats.
It's Walker Buehler versus Tyler Mahle tomorrow. Tyler Mahle stinks. Go score some runs.
