You guys realize how much our bullpen has been worked lately right? We kinda had to ride with Arroyo late into this game.
But typical Arroyo, when it goes wrong it's 3 runs in 3 minutes.
I can see why Walt did't pursue the left handed hitting Ibanez for 1.1 million when he could sign the right handed hitting Ludwick for 2 million. Makes perfectly good sense.
Above average players + Below average coaches=.500 team
Bad hitting and struggling starters=a slump
True, but with 20 games in 20 days, and with the short starts we've been constantly getting, you almost had to ride with Arroyo through 8 when he's pitching well.
With a lead Dusty might have done it differently, but since we were losing you have to try to get that pen rest.
