I *think* even Mac isn't that stupid

Of course, since RRS is now conditioned to exclusively pitch in the 9th because of his mindset...

He's not

that stupid. But hopefully that's not too much to expect.

Raul has a good throwing arm...

Not great, but average strength and it's usually accurate. His arm isn't his fielding problem. Not really a huge strength, but not a detriment.

And why are Green and EOF warming up? Games like this are the reason that Baek has, and Dickey should have, a roster spot. Save the big bullpen pitchers for close games.
