On the grand scale of Bryan Shaw bullpen implosions, today would hardly even register, but only because it ended so soon.
Shaw was brought in to hold a 4-1 lead in the seventh inning — the third day in a row he has pitched against his former team. The last two outings were nothing short of vintage Bryan Shaw, and perhaps rubbed the salt in the wound of what he looked like in his limited time in Colorado.
Unfortunately, today was also vintage Bryan Shaw — just, like, the bad vintage. He failed to register a single out, giving up singles to Brian Serven and Connor Joe and walking Charlie Blackmon to face the required three batters before Terry Francona had seen enough.
