All right, those of you that double-quess a lot of Joe’s moves…

9th inning, leading 6 to 2, brings in Broxton in a non-save situation. The house falls in upon Broxton and does not escape. Game tied 6 to 6.

Key: Billingsly with a wonderful game, now has not decision. Both of these pitchers are named to the All-Star squad.

Is this a plot to not have C-Bills at 10 wins by the game?

Is Broxton over worked?

Do we need to send Broxton down, and bring up some kid from “A” ball?

What a waste of a game.

They’ll have to put Belisario on the DL soon anyway.

Some of us have been on Bell-a-sorry-oh almost all year now.

Mark and I both felt in Spring Training, watching him pitch, that he would not make the squad. Believe he came late to camp anyway.

Fact, he and who ever is catching him, does not know where the ball is going. And of course the batter does not either.

Send him down to hone his throwing, and bring up Lindblom or some one that is ready. Even if it is only for three weeks or so.

Since Joe is using Belisario so much, bring up Lindblom and give him a chance.

Billingsley, 37 pitches in 4 innings.

Now that’s pitching like an ace.
