"Just about all of the story from game one was the pitching, and we'll hit on Edward Cabrera's successful (if slightly wild) outing later. Caleb Thielbar, Hoby Milner, and Daniel Palencia covered 3.1 scoreless in that one, which almost certainly mattered a few hours later when the rest of the bullpen was blowing game two."
"The point there is not to excuse Ben Brown's or Jacob Webb's ghastly performances, mind you; instead, it's just a pretty on-the-nose reminder of how difficult it is to win both games in a double-header."
"Webb: it's waaaay too early to pull any rip cords, but he has not looked particularly impressive, even going back to Spring Training."
The weekend featured two losses for the team, compounded by a bullpen failure and concerns about the pitching staff. The offense struggled, and a serious injury to the starting pitcher raised alarms. In the first game, Edward Cabrera pitched well, while the bullpen managed 3.1 scoreless innings. However, in the second game, the bullpen faltered, leading to a loss. The performances of Ben Brown and Jacob Webb were particularly criticized, with Webb's struggles noted since Spring Training.
