Or to be more specific, I don't understand bullpen management.
I don't get how different managers get attached to certain pitchers.
Torre was attached to Proctor, and it seems Giradri is attached to Farnsworth.
I don't understand why he has so much faith in the guy. Over the last 6 games, he has a 5.68 ERA. Overall he has a 4.44 ERA and has given up 8 HRs in just 26.1 innings. That hardly screams '8th inning set up man'.
Meanwhile there are better pitchers, like Edwar and Chris Britton, just sitting there watching Farnsworth's pitches fly over the walls.
I don't think Giradri managed last nights game well at all. He needs to rethink his strategy, and quickly.
