Bryan Shaw ranks last among Guardians pitchers in fWAR (-0.2).
Yet Bryan Shaw also ranks second on the team in relief appearances this season, trailing only Emmanuel Clase.
And after giving up three runs Friday night, including a go-ahead two-run homer to Christian Arroyo, Bryan Shaw now ranks last among Guardians relievers in ERA (4.70).
So why does Terry Francona insist on using him in high leverage situations? The trust he has in Shaw does not seem to have any basis in reality, at least from my vantage point.
But I digress. I have a game to recap.
