This is why he will have to be dealt to an AL team while he has value to us for the long haul. Our defense just gave them 2 extra outs which resulted in 2 extra runs. But the pitcher has to be able to pick up his team and get out of it from time to time.
Bascik is not that guy - he's a contact pitcher, like Speigner, he has to rely on his defense to pick HIM up - you can't give a Major league team 5 outs in an inning - it inevitably comes back to bite you -
