I was just about to ask the question as to why they would walk Kendrick with his .386 slugging to face Cron with his .500+ slugging and Cron hit a home run.
Well I feel bad for Feldman. I hate it when pitchers go out and throw a quality start, but they get nothing to show for it because these relievers can't get 3 outs. Tony Sipp sure has fallen off the cliff.
Its the same pitch, always the changeup, he can't identify it. I'm not sure what good sending him down will do, you can't face MLB changeups in AAA
This made me think about something I noticed last night. On TV, I generally can't really hear any of the walkup music. But for whatever reason, whenever Mike Trout comes to the plate, all I can hear is "Started from the Bottom." It's like they play it twice as loud as all the other songs. On second thought, I can also hear John McDonald walk up to "Return of the Mack," but my original point stands.
