Pittsburgh Pirates using Tony Watson too much?

The Pittsburgh Pirates have an absolute weapon in the back end of their bullpen, and that weapon’s name is Tony Watson. Yet some fans believe that Clint Hurdle is relying on him too much this season. The case in point being last night’s 5-2 win against the San Diego Padres. With Charlie Morton doing Charlie Morton things and cruising into the eighth inning, Hurdle elected to call on the left from the bullpen rather than allow Morton to continue. A small minority of fans cried foul, exclaiming that there was no need to bring in Watson.
