I don't understand this. I get we're in a long stretch of games with no off day but making him throw 100ish high stress pitches when his velocity is already way down is so ******* stupid and Murphy is just sitting there like a giant oaf letting it happen.
He;s not throwing nearly as hard as he was earlier. He'll still occasionally touch 96 but he was 94-96 earlier and now he's typically 92-94 and it's just not working.
So let's say instead of pulling back on the bunt attempt, he bunts it foul down the line or even worse pops it up and makes an out without advancing the runners. Is he benched for that?
