1 day agoGame 142: Tolle vs. Rodriguez
Payton Tolle faces Eduardo Rodriguez and an Arizona lineup that hits lefties well, while Arizona's bullpen ranks 26th in bullpen ERA.
As Payton Tolle prepares to make his debut at Fenway Park against Paul Skenes and an ailing Pirates team, much can be made by comparing Opening Day rosters and current day rosters, and specifically, how much longer the lower-level relief guys go in games. It's not uncommon at all to see Greenville and Salem use just two pitchers in games to the point of them getting torched, which seems counterproductive to the idea of letting guys develop naturally.
