I defended the Patrick usage in his last outing because I thought they were trying to keep him stretched out but he’s clearly still not rested enough to pitch again. It’s looking like a bizarre decision from Murphy to not use Rom in a blowout win just to option him the next day.
I’m not saying it was a mistake to bring him up, but people are going to be disappointed in his this year if they are expecting big things. He’s probably going to be Joey 2.0 this season.
Bauers is having a very nice season, but I am really tiring of his passive 2 strike approaches with men in scoring position. Far too many backwards K’s.
