Pitching pecking order

[Patzky]

It's a whole different game pitching with a three run deficit versus a one run lead, but I have to think Jordan Balazovic has passed Griffin Jax in the "high leverage order" after today's implosion. If Rocco Baldelli would have thought the same going into today, the result might be better than it is. Probably I'd have them ranked Thielbar/Pagan/Balazovic-Duran, if the game is on the line. And give Jax the Jose Lopez situations. 

 

Brock? Soon?

Doesn't matter with the rest but Jax right now is this year's Pagan of old. DL stint or only low leverage for a few weeks.

I agree but looking at Winder flounder and Headrick there are more low leverage arms than one would like in a pennant race bullpen..

100%, especially when your starter gets hit around some and gives you 4 innings. But right now Jax has been the worst of the bunch. He will come around, but for now is un-useable.
