For all of the proponents of piggybacking, this game is the perfect example of why it only works on paper. You have to take into consideration the game situation when the second pitcher comes in. Sometimes a starter needs a little time to settle in and Abel was not going to have that with only a 2 run lead. This was destined to be a disaster from the beginning especially with his command issues. And Lee's error did not help but all pitchers deal with that. Stop with this insanity, it doesn't work. This organization seems to think they are playing Strat-o-Matic, this is real life baseball, give players a role and some continuity.
Either send some starters to the bullpen for the rest of the year or send Abel and others to St. Paul to get regular work. They are going to have 8 starters when Festa comes back. They need to make some decisions. Either move guys permanently to the bullpen or trade some starters. All these trades did was bring back more starting pitching similar to what we already had. What happened to trading to strengthen your roster. Now they have an excess of young pitchers that are all very similar to potential outcomes.
And they need help in the bullpen, if you are going to struggle, do it with players that have a chance to be on the team next year. Guys like Cabrera and Kriskie should be nowhere a major league mound.
