the Oakland A's the bullpen isn't very good
or the choice manager Scott Servais is making
not good or both.
Justus Sheffield pitched well for four innings
then struggled in the fifth inning. He ha a one
hitter going into the fifth inning. He ended up
loading the bases after a couple runs had scored.
The Mariners still had a chance, however,
Servais brought in Bryan Shaw who hasn't
shown anything so far. In fact why is he on
the team still. By the time the fifth inning was
over the A's were leading 8-1.
The final score ended up being 11-1. Nestor
Cortes pitched the last two innings giving up
the final run. Though he hasn't done well why
not have him come in for Sheffield. At least
the Mariners acquired him in a trade instead
of someone they picked up off the waiver wire
whose best days are behind him.
The way the bullpen has been working so far
there seems to me no reason to have setup relievers
you might as well use them when taking out the
starter.
The Mariners could have used the choices of
Matt Magill, Erik Swanson, Taylor Williams,
Yohan Ramirez instead of Shaw. If Shaw is
going to be on the team use him when they are
down 8-1 not making it 8-1. For us the fans and
media let's just release Shaw he doesn't have any
thing left.
