Martinez got out of it with only 1 run, but I wouldn't make that managerial decision. Framber has earned the chance to get the qualifying start on opening day after only giving up 2 with a 2 run lead. Not a great move, especially to bring in Seth
There's a reason that middle relievers exist. It's for the middle innings. Like the top of the 5th. Which is the middle.
Not sure he really "earned the right." He's been flirting with disaster all game. I know DP's are a big part of his game, but you can't go to that well every inning.
Eh, maybe not, but unfortunately I think that's what Framber is now. Base runners, walks, and lots of sweat-inducing moments but ultimately you hope that he can maintain just enough command of his groundball pitches to evade serious trouble.
We're going to need someone outside of the Hader,Abreu,Pres to step up and be a key part of this bullpen.
