Atchinson had at least one good emergency start that I can remember last year. He has 7 years on Wake and throws 25 mph harder than Wake. He looks like he is 50, but that should tell us that Wake must be dying his hair.
I was in RF Roof box for the first time. The team was dead once Tito sent Wake back out after we knocked out Price and closed the gap to 4-2. I had a long drive ahead, and it wasn't worth staying.
Don't blame the rookie. This is what happens with rookies. I warned you all. Their hot streaks end with a thud and then they start playing like stupid rookies. Not his fault. Theo's fault for thinking that we could get by with Reddick and Bush league D Mac.
Reddick should have caught the ball, but truthfully, the Andino 13 pitch AB finished Bedard. He was gassed. He's out of condition from pitching so little for the last 3 weeks.
Is it really that hard to find a cheap alternative to a guy who has pitched to a 5+ ERA who can't keep his team in games? His team's record in games that he started over the last 2 seasons has been 18-23. Would it really be that hard to replace such a guy?
