I agree. I thought it shoulda been Cotts, but I have no problem with Rauch.
The problem is, with the sort of ultimatum start where you either succeed or get demoted, that much more pressure is placed on you when you don't have the comfort of knowing you have another chance. In many cases like this, the pitchers try and be to pperfect and end up f***ing up. I know it's common knowledge but I feel it's still the case.
