Wasn't there a big to-do about grichuk hitting 30 home runs this year? Nothing personal against the guy but the bfib really showed their collective asses with their devotion to this hacker. That was just them being in denial about the power shift atop the division, and as a result trying to sell themselves on the idea that their young "core" would approximate ours.
Yeah, Richard was the problem with that inning. That said, Warren had poor command. Marte was helping him out until he missed location in the zone. I really don't see any point in keeping Richard on the roster any longer.
Joe should have just left Grimm in. There was no need to get cute playing matchup in a five run game, much less to bring Richard in just because he's a lhp.
