Putting Payamps in to start the ninth was reckless with the way he’s been pitching this season. They know how his pitches have been profiling. Heat of the moment, horrible decision and surely Murphy (who I really like) would admit it.
Not worried about Megill. They tried to get him work last night and so he was on a back to back plus he didn’t start the inning. Double whammy. When he threw the 5 straight balls, it was apparent he didn’t have it.
With Yoho they are apparently trying to save a year of service time. I think he could pitch in leverage situations right now.
Payamps. They have a couple of years of trust there. But he should be in when we are behind or in a blowout to get on track. Then DFA if he’s showing he’s not a major leaguer anymore (a distinct possibility).
