There has to be a breaking point, and despite a bih hit, today, I think we are still on a countdown. (Not that he still doesn't have time to stop the clock.)
Brasier and Valdez to the rescue!
Gotta hope something else is in the works.
1. A trade for a solid RP'er, ot two.
2. Naming Houck the closer (maybe keep Winckowski on the 26 as a the long man/piggy-backer?)
3. Add Kelly or German to the 40 man and DFA someone.
4. Make Whitlock the closer and keep Winckowski in the rotation.
Any other ideas?
He has pitched 101 pitches 3 other times, this year, including his last start.
My guess is, they take it easy with Nate, his next start, if they can afford to do it.
good to see Boby Dee get a big hit, but it may be too little-too late.
The pen did not allow a run to score! How long has that gone on? lol
We still seem to be on the missed opportunities trend, but a win is a win.
Need to take advantage more often.
I'm not sure Houck is the guy either, but we've thrown everything else against the wall, and not only did nothing stick, it splattered all over the place.
Unless we make a trade, Houck is the best option to try next.
