I began wondering about this when Hurdle went with Rodriguez in the 6th the other night. I felt pretty strongly that DuRapau was the guy for that situation as I wouldn't give RRod the ball with a lead. And of course he proved why he shouldn't have the ball with a lead. Seemed like Hurdle might have been saving DuRapau then.



Hope DuRapau does well. He's at least one reliever we've brought up who looks like he wants to stay up. Stratton was also good in the blow-out ins AZ with 7 Ks in 4 innings. He went 3 strong and then we went one inning too long as he seemed to run out of gas. With Lirano, maybe we can get enough out of the 3 of them.



Crick hadn't pitched for awhile Bobster, but man was he sharp. Diaz was barely having to move his mitt from where he set up. He cruised through the inning.

hope this doesn't jinx DuRapau but he is like Williams in that he seems to know how to pitch to make his stuff more effective (at least for short stretches).
