Look at his splits, Doo didn’t crater until August
but he rode him before that. I think we are in agreement, though - he worked Doo hard when he had nothing else, and had some confidence that Rizzo would keep on bringing in bullpen arms until they ended up with another that worked.
Would have been nice if there would have been more competent arms aside from Doo in the first place. Rizzo doesn't get let off the hook because he waited until the deadline to take off some of the pressure.
yes, it would have been nice. Can't say they did not try, just it was one massive fail (Rosenthal, Barraclough, Rodney, some guys who never made it out of their minor league contracts) after another.
