I don't really blame Tom Mastny for the fact that he's leaving the game with bases loaded, one out, and a new two run deficit. It was clear from after two batters that he didn't have control.
Let me say that again:
It was clear after two batters that he didn't have control.
Which begs the question: why, then, did he stay in?
I mean, he walked a guy who was trying to bunt. The guy wanted to give up an out. After he walks a guy like that, why would anyone think he'd be able to find the zone on someone who's actually up there to hit?
Then again, Fultz just walked in a run. And Detroit just hit a sac for another run.
I could go off on the bullpen, but I'm beginning to wonder if we're just asking too much of Mastny and Fultz. Mastny's pitched 22 innings so far -- that's nearly every other game. And while Fultz has only pitched 14 innings, he's made 25 appearances.
Meh, maybe they just had an off night. I accept that. I still think Mastny should have been pulled after the second batter, though. Tie game, Wedge, let's shorten that rope a little, eh?
