All I can come up with is that after watching Maness get guys to rip grounders at infielders for 2 years he just latched on to the next undersized RHP with mediocre stuff hoping for the same.
Not sure we have definitively better options. Bowman, Duke, Siegrist, and Broxton are all about the same.

All options are equally bad?

Drive the starter's pitch count up, Mike/Mabry. Get him out of the flipping game and get into that bullpen.
3 out of last 4 games, our opponent's starter has pitched 8 or more innings.

So I agree. This team needs to be more patient.
when has this team, in recent memory, been a patient team?

No.

Broxton can make guys miss.
Tuivalala;lala; can make guys miss.
Kiekheffehherhehr can get whiffs.


Matheny sucks putting guys in good spots.

Maybe it is better for giants or mets in playoff to keep the Cubs honest
