Nick Kranz: I suppose the easy answer would be ‘pitching when Jared Horn and Arman Sabouri aren’t on the mound.’ Rogelio Reyes has been one of the few reliable arms out of the bullpen and Cal has lost more than a few early leads as a result of bullpen struggles. But I’ll also throw in a shout for simple better luck. Cal is 3rd, 4th, and 3rd respectively in the Pac-12 in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage . . . but only 5th in the Pac-12 in runs. Simply speaking, Cal hasn’t been translating their base runners into guys crossing home plate.
