September 5, 200619 yr I'm not sure why he struggles so much away from the Cell....but these splits are pretty drastic. SPLIT ERA W L Sv SvO G GS IP H R ER HR BB SO BAA Home 2.93 3 3 0 0 24 0 43.0 30 14 14 7 14 32 .197 Away 5.83 0 2 0 1 22 1 29.1 32 19 19 5 13 21 .281 Opponents are batting almost 100 points better on the road and the ERA is almost 3 runs higher! I have extreme confidence when he takes the mound at home....but in a tight game on the road, he needs to stay on the bench in the bullpen.
September 5, 200619 yr We have three good relievers. The rest of them are a crapshoot, and can't be trusted in close games.
September 5, 200619 yr Just once i'd like to see Bmac get another spot start to give ALL of our starters an extra day of rest.

Who says a start would allow him to be better?
September 5, 200619 yr Bullpen has been a huge dissapointment. I can't really blame the Oz for using B-Mac. The two guys you put in the highest leverage situations were used in MacDougal and Jenks. Cotts has been terrible and he like the HR this year too. Riske has just been so-so. Don't like the idea of Logan or Haeger either. But what can you do. Tough loss, need to bounce back tommorrow. What's most dissapointing is that we could not hit Tavarez at all.

Who says a start would allow him to be better? It is an overreaction. You said that you wouldn't spot start him in a AAA game, meaning you think that he isn't good enough to start a AAA game. If you HONESTLY think thats true, then I feel sorry for you.
September 5, 200619 yr Was pena brought in before or after McCarthy? I think Logan could've taken care of him.

The point is that pitching in the MLB and pitching in AAA is COMPLETELY different, and saying that you wouldn't trust him in a AAA game is rather silly, even if he's struggling as of late. I guarentee you that if he were to pitch in a AAA game, he'd dominate.
