Bullpen breaking down

The Palms have had several rough finishes to games of late. Their starting rotation may be on the brink of being overworked, as the management seeks to avoid exposing a fragile bullpen to more abuse. Brian Matusz has blown 6 saves already this season, after a 2017 which saw him operate as a lockdown reliever. Other relievers, like Mike Morin and Braden Shipley have also had some nefarious outings that saw their ERAs sky rocket. The team will need to work on managing their workload to allay some of their disasters. Right now, Matusz is still the closer, but if a change comes in the season, expect that to be where it happens first.
