It’s like the fact that he doesn’t have home run power is beneficial towards him. He is always just putting the ball where he wants it if the right pitch comes.

Speaking of Aquino, nothing against him, but I am curious as to how Wedge chooses him in this spot over Herges. I mean, is he saving Herges for a bases-loaded situation?

Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

i don’t know but i’m not very comfortable right now. too many innings left.

by RD74 on Jun 7, 2009 3:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yes, he has to allow Herges to allow the most runs to score with the least impact on his ERA.

by Julie on Jun 7, 2009 3:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

I know a 5-run lead isn’t safe with our team, but maybe the logic is that this is safe enough to use Aquino instead of using our 2nd-best reliever.
