Not sure we have definitively better options. Bowman, Duke, Siegrist, and Broxton are all about the same.InvincibleCakeEater wrote:Anyone have any idea at all on Matheny's insistence on putting Bowman in high leverage situations? 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.

Drive the starter's pitch count up, Mike/Mabry. Get him out of the flipping game and get into that bullpen.
So I agree. This team needs to be more patient.
