Ashby has done this once this season, with good results I admit, but this just feels like doing something to do it. Do we have any idea how Priester will react to doing this? Anything to mess with his head isn't a good thing. The way it seems, he knows he's coming in, but not sure when. What if Ashby struggles, makes it through 2/3 of an inning and Priester comes in at that time? I just don't like messing with a formula that has been working all season, but we shall see.
Hopefully, I'm worrying about nothing, and this all works out, but if it doesn't, Murphy deserves to be criticized.
Here's hoping Ashby goes 2 innings, dominates, and Priester comes in and does his thing.
