Should we be concerned about Mike Matheny's overuse of Trevor Rosenthal?
After a bumpy start to the season, Trevor Rosenthal has settled into his setup role nicely. Since April 24th, he has allowed only 1 unearned run in 9.2 IP. He has seen his ERA drop from a high of 5.00 on April 17th to the current low of 2.42. However, despite his run of success, there is one thing that concerns me, Mike Matheny has been using Rosenthal A LOT. Rosenthal has...
Mitchell Boggs Is Mike Matheny's Sylvia Rosen
Let me get this straight... use new guys that aren't Fernando Salas and Mitchell Boggs and win a bunch of games. Use guys that are Fernando Salas and Mitchell Boggs and lose a bunch of games.
If you're Mike Matheny, what do you do? What. Do. You. Do?
