Anyone following the Ray's pitching?

[MinnesotaFats]

Started a guy back to back games

Use bullpen for 5th starter, yank em all after 2 innings

Skip 5th spot on days off

Interesting

4-man rotation, so every 5th day was a planned bullpen game from the start of the season

Starting Romo twice this weekend was a new twist on it. They liked how he matched up with the Angels top of lineup.

Chris Archer will be in his contract year Next year, so he will not be motivated until then....unless they trade him to a competitive team this year. His performance is a little deceiving. Archer the type of guy who doesn't care if the team has no chance to win. But he CAN pitch when motivated.

I sort of like it. Reliever ERA always a little lower, as long as u don't over-do their innings.

Well I know is Tampa has a low payroll and most years very competitive

[homerbush]

this is what I thought the Rockies should have done back in the day.

Ya- Romo was a ex giant - nasty slider

[Bostongambler]

They used him in back to back games starting against the angels. He’s nasty on right hand hitters.

[Bostongambler]

Struck out the side, including Trout.

Good strategy until it doesn't work anymore.

Come august when the entire bullpen has nothing left people will think different.

[Baseball with Ed]

do you think more teams will try this strategy?
