There is a reason that I am an IT guy and news roundup blogger and tikiphile and animatronic hobbyist and lots of other things that are not professional MLB manager. Because it’s clear that I don’t know squat about how bullpens work. Nope. Not at all. Not a single thing.
See, my my perch of ignorance I see that the entire bullpen got the day off on a Thursday. On Friday 3 guys worked 3.1 innings. On Saturday 2 other guys went 3.1 innings. So on Sunday Taylor Cole comes in to start the bottom of the 8th with the Halos trailing 4-1.
