We paid the price in 2017 and continue to pay the price in 2019.
FYI, we have a roster of 34. We are allowed 35. Either somebody was kicked off, quit, flunked out or our coach can't count.
Of the 34, Leal is a question mark, but it is understandable that he kept him available (although he did not do the same for one of our best players last year).
Now of the 33 remaining 13 are pitchers. 1 of those has not seen the field. 2 have made one appearance. 1 has only 4 appearances.
Pitching will likely be what costs us the most games if LB's style holds true.
It's ALL about pitching.
