Agreed I feel Patrick would have been better settled in if he started this game. I get it he was great out of the pen last postseason but this early in season is not the time to do this. Let the starters start!!!
Just a thought, would it have been feasible to just not bring Freddy out for tge 2nd inning and bring in Mis, Patrick, or Gasser to pitch the rest of game and we could have saved Freddy for game 3? Or is that not a strategy worth trying
Yeah he may look uninspired, but also what do we know? I’m guessing he is trying to work on his changeup and slider. They probably told him to not worry about outcome and just concentrate on getting those pitches over and trying to refine them. Just my guess.
