Pitch counts are ridiculous and have not proven to stop pitcher injuries. I’d just keep trying internal candidates for the BP including minor league starters like Megill. We can mortgage the future for a reliever at the deadline for this team
The higher-ups what Scott to be on a pitch limit. He followed their dictates. I really don't see the difference of him throwing 5-10 more pitches & trying to finish the inning myself, but shrugs.
The choice of who to finish the inning was Mendoza's. I think he made some dubious bullpen moves in the last week, including leaving Scott in too long in the start before & relying on Diekman too much.
Not a great week for Houser. He is not put in a game & they lose. He is put in & gives up the winning run. He is put in a bit too late (yes, like him to start an inning but there was no one on base) & then has a bad outing when he enters. Oh well.
