time to end the Patton experiment
can we trade him to Balt, since he was a rule five draft, I was not sure
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
yes.
he pitched two innings last week or the week before, with no runs scoring.
Patton is Rule 5, so he can’t just be traded.

Then he leaves the starters in too long. He needs to take the starters out at a better time.

To a large degree it is.
He has NO CLUE how to manage a bullpen. He constantly overuses pitchers and exiles others to Siberia ( well Ok Philadelphia
Cleveland , Seattle and the dog house), His managing consists of telling pitchers to "throw strikes’ . Yep that will do the trick.
