I'm not going to second guess him for that. Broxton's a big boy and is paid to get people out when he doesn't have his good stuff. Though Baker handled it fine.

Baker got lucky. The reds won in spite of his moves today.
Broxton blew it yesterday and he let him do it again today. Thank goodness we had a larger lead today. He still left him in too long.
He is paid whether he gets the outs or not. His best days are behind him.

I hear you. A win is a win. I'm not complaining.

I had no problems with any of Dusty's moves. I said it earlier in the thread I know, but guys are not hitting the ball hard off of Broxton. We need him to get big outs in the 8th, keep giving him the ball and trust that our A team defense will gobble up those ground balls.
