Hey, the offense can come back any time they feel like it.

Give him a bullpen.... then get back to me.

 

He's got enough options who have been pretty decent of late that it's inexcusable to send a guy like Strop, who's pitched the last 2 days and has spotty control to begin with, out there for a 3rd day in a row in a 0-0 game. Parker would have been a much better choice, if for no other reason than he's fresh. It's just another instance of Sveum making a very curious decision when it comes to BP usage. He's just bad at it.
