The Street meltdown is the same reason why we were able to comeback in Friday and Saturday games that most average baseball fans don't see. Managers that over use their Closer. In the blown save, Street had gone three games in a row. On the third game, Street had the flu. Instead of resting his closer Mike played him, We lost. It was the most runs Street have given up in his career.
In the Friday's Texas win, Banister used his Tolleson his fourth straight game. What happened? The Angels scored in the 9th and won. What's even more absurd, the next game, Banister used his closer again on 5th straight day, What happened Aybat and Kole hit back to back homeruns. Using his Closer 5 days straight days may have cost Bannister manager of the year award.
