re: Week 3 Baseball Polls

I think he could have gone 3 innings, which he basically did anyways.

I'd never put my closer in for a 3 inning outing in March....not in college or pro....I mean you think the Yankees would have thrown Rivera for 3 innings vs the Red Sox in May...hell no.

Mainieri, at worst shouldn't have waited to pull the trigger. After Peterson walked the first two batters of the inning, he should have made the switch. Instead, he waited until we'd given up the lead

Meh Peterson is a young guy....I think we wanted to see if he could pitch himself out of that situation. The fact that we went 1-2 this weekend doesn't hurt us that much (I mean hell the polls that are out so far only dropped us to 6).

My concern here is Newman....he has got to be better at closing the door when he comes in. Hitting the lead of batter in the 9th was an egregious error.
