He had pitched the night before, and even though it was only for 0.1 innings, those back to backs rarely end well.
Why they rolled Sipp out there in the 8th after a 22-pitch "effort" (if you could call it that) the night before I'll never know. I say the same thing about football teams without a kicking game -- it's amazing to me that these franchises can't come up with legitimate and deep relief pitching. You can't win without it, yet hardly anyone seems to put a premium on it. Unbelievable.
