I would prefer pitching Mushinski over sending Javier back out there again. Javier is not a good pitcher right now, and he was facing the top of the lineup for a third time.
We almost turned the corner. We just don’t have the pitching and the hitters always go cold when the pressure mounts.
We probably need him. Abreu is looking shaky recently. It's a big game for the relief crew, see how it turns out.
I felt like Javier has to start the 5th. But it HAD to be a " you only get to pitch until you allow a baserunner" And they optioned Dubin and brought up Bielak so they have an extra arm in the bullpen.
