If you play golf and get into a bad rut, and only get to play a round once a week, that is similar to being the backup IF. You can practice as much as you want, but nothing is like live rounds
They still could use it on Lorenzen. After ST, I am really worried about our starters. Maybe they were working on pitches and angles, but Ryan was the only steady SP
This article had to be written by a politician, as it was written with a slant to support a view.
