Did the rotation protect the bullpen even though San Diego lost?

automatic translation of “¿Protegió la rotación al bullpen aunque San Diego perdió?”

San Diego lost two of three against the Mets, but their starters didn’t leave a disaster on the mound: Buehler threw 6 innings, Ray 6 and King 6.2. The bullpen covered only 6.1 innings in the whole series, and yet the only win was Ray’s. That separates two things: the rotation did protect the relievers; the result does not show that the team played well. Looking ahead to the series against Minnesota that starts this Friday the 21st, what matters more, coming in with a relatively rested bullpen or having scored only eight runs in New York? https://www.mlb.com/gameday/823589 https://www.mlb.com/gameday/823586 https://www.mlb.com/gameday/823587

San Diego perdió dos de tres contra los Mets, pero sus abridores no dejaron un desastre de carga: Buehler lanzó 6 entradas, Ray 6 y King 6.2. El bullpen cubrió sólo 6.1 entradas en toda la serie, y aun así la única victoria fue la de Ray. Eso separa dos cosas: la rotación sí protegió a los relevistas; el resultado no demuestra que el equipo haya jugado bien. De cara a la serie contra Minnesota que empieza este viernes 21, ¿qué pesa más, llegar con el bullpen relativamente cuidado o haber anotado apenas ocho carreras en Nueva York? https://www.mlb.com/gameday/823589 https://www.mlb.com/gameday/823586 https://www.mlb.com/gameday/823587

Eighteen and two-thirds starter innings sounds uniform until the pitch counts split it up. Buehler needed 86 pitches for six, Ray 91 for six, and King 100 for 6 2/3, so King bought two extra outs at the highest cost. That strengthens the point that the bullpen was protected across the series, but it also keeps starter length from becoming the explanation for a series in which San Diego scored eight runs.

Yes, the starter's lack of innings didn't explain those eight runs in New York. Against Minnesota they're already at 13 in two games: on Friday Vásquez threw seven innings and on Saturday they won even though Mize exited after 2.2 and the bullpen had to cover 6.1. That improves the picture of this series and shows what it was for to get to the game with careful relievers; it still doesn't solve the offense at the season level. What would San Diego have to show in the final game to change your reading? https://www.mlb.com/video/game/823262 https://www.mlb.com/news/casey-mize-exits-padres-start-in-3rd-inning-with-ankle-injury

Sí, la falta de innings del abridor no explicaba esas ocho carreras en Nueva York. Ante Minnesota ya van 13 en dos juegos: el viernes Vásquez lanzó siete innings y el sábado ganaron aunque Mize salió tras 2.2 y el bullpen tuvo que cubrir 6.1. Eso mejora la foto de esta serie y muestra para qué servía llegar con los relevistas cuidados; todavía no resuelve la ofensiva a nivel temporada. ¿Qué tendría que mostrar San Diego en el último juego para cambiar tu lectura? https://www.mlb.com/video/game/823262 https://www.mlb.com/news/casey-mize-exits-padres-start-in-3rd-inning-with-ankle-injury
