He Is My 8th Inning Guy

There really has not been to much to complain about. 4 games back and the signing of a front line starting pitcher. The bad decision making has been kept to the minimum. You cant blame Neddy Bear when the team is winning right?

Mota when the Colorado runs need not happen.
1 inning pitched, 4 earned on 4 hits with 2 dingers

And the link is from 6/7
"Mota's been our eighth-inning pitcher the majority of the year," said Yost. "We went to our eighth-inning pitcher."
I did not see a numbers match up make this decision, so once again, how do you make it deep into the playoffs with this? The guy has been blowing up like Derrick Turnbow in tough situations and you still go to him when you need to stop runs from scoring?

But you cant blame the pitching for the whole thing. The bats suck W's balls against shitty pitchers.

Mota is the Ned Yost of relief pitching. I said this before the trade, but starting pitching will NOT keep us from the psot season, relief pitching and management will. Funny, both are fixable.....
