Melvin leaving his starters in too long
He doesn't have much choice. They're in the middle of 17 straight games without a day off. The way the starters are struggling with the high pitch counts they have to try and get at least 4 or 5 innings out of them so they don't overwork the relievers. What needs to happen is the starters have to throw strikes instead of going to a full count on every batter.
They've had some really bad weather on this road trip with less than ideal conditions for pitchers. Temps in the 30s, rain and high winds.
