Yes, the 2 and 2 thirds innings of 13.50 ERA ball in May means a heck of a lot.

Bray walking the first guy he faced does not surprise me.
Is the strike zone smaller in the majors than the minors? He could have thrown strikes.

Re: 6/22/12 - Reds vs Twins
Rookie mistake. Strie 3 according to the only one that matters. Now Frazier or bust.

Frazier flies out to center. Frustrating night so far. 5-4 Twins after 6.

Re: 6/22/12 - Reds vs Twins
you have to score a run when you have the bases loaded and 1 out.

One would think that pitching to minor leaguers in a meaningless game is less stressful than pitching to major league hitters with the bases loaded in his first appearance since the DL. He hadnt pitched in such a situation since coming back so I would think he was understandably "rusty".

I understand why he brought in Bray, but the thought of saving Marshall for 2 innings in the future doesnt mean much to me when this was likely to be just as high leverage of a situation once the first guy got on.
