Winder has had 2 excellent long relief appearances on this homestand. Prior to those outings he had appeared in 10 games, allowed 12 ER runs in 7 games for an ERA of 5.59. I hope he can keep up the recent good work.
I compared him to Sands and found out that Sands has allowed 7 runs (2 games 1 ER + 6 ER) over 13 appearances for an ERA of 3.57. Without the 6 ER against Balt, his ERA would be .52. I don't understand why Rocco hasn't used Sands more, have Sands pitch 2 innings rather than using 2 relievers.
