i really thought he was good. he was the cardinals dominant closer not too long ago
F. He won't make to the end of the season.
He needs an immediate IL stint.
Who’s the worst player in baseball? Chris Davis who has gone 0 for his last 44 or Rosenthal who has 5 straight appearances without retiring a batter?
do we play the Orioles soon? I want to see Rosenthal pitch to Davis.
Actually, I’d use him as an opener. Let him pitch the first inning, which is relatively low leverage so he can at least get an out or two and get his head right.
You do realize that the reason an "opener" exists is because the first inning was identified as not "low leverage," right?
How about lower leverage that most of the situations he’s been in. And I thought the opener was designed to limit the third time through the order penalty to batters not at top of lineup.
Then why wouldn't they simply used the "opener" when the lineup comes around the third time? I don't know how much lower leverage we could have gotten than Rosenthal's opportunity yesterday.
