You don't want to make the playoffs, do you?

Let's see his actual actions... Words are nice and all. But let's see if he actually puts Box and Archie in leveraged situations. I and a huge TL fan and would be shocked if he actually did this.

He should try them out after the starting pitcher is taken out. See how that works.

ONLY if we have a double-digit lead. Otherwise, keep 'em on ice!

Ha ha, agreed!

Absolutely. It shouldn't be all-or-nothing.

Just keep Archie and Box out of the 8th and 9th innings (which have little or no safety nets). Unless they get to the point where they are better than Ziegler and Yoshi closing games, which I wouldn't expect for the rest of the season. Both of them are experienced closers.

If Archie and Box do show improvement, they'd be good middle inning relievers, which would help the team. Anything to send Bracho to the bench or Siberia. He is not even what they call a AAAA pitcher on a consistent basis.

We have him. That's Mark Grace, isn't it?

Yes, I know that we have the real thing coaching in the bullpen.
