Boxberger had pitched three out of the past five and Dbacks decided he was down today, Lovullo said. They're being careful with him early in the year; have to assume his injury history played a part in that."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

As an aside, I really like Zona's team this year. If Boxberger does stay healthy and productive, they have a great bullpen, and their starters, 1-5 are as good as you can find. Godley as a 5 starter is just an embarrassment of riches for them (granted, I think he should be their 3 starter, ahead of Walker and Corbin, but still, all five guys are good to great).

If anything this is a good sign for Boxberger. The D-Backs are not going to make him a multi-inning fireman. They're going to leave him in a role where he can pitch one inning at a time.

Boxberger pitched March 30, Apr 2,4,5 and 8 all 1 inning each. I don't see this as a committee but Boxberger getting the save opportunities with Bradley getting the occasional save. One thing of note and this is early yet his velocity is down 1 mile.

At this stage it would not be surprising if they turned to a new face (Hader? Jeffress?) or simply imported a new arm. They have Keon Broxton rotting in AAA, maybe it’s time they dealt him for another bullpenner before this season goes off the rails.

Originally posted by pitbull View PostI'm surprised that Counsell doesn't give Hader the chance. He is the best pitcher IMO in that bullpen. Too much emphasis on needing a lefty. BTW I thought Hoover was buried next to the K-Rod corpse.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

as I noted, neither Barnes nor Albers have been terrible in these games.
some dinks and dunks and some poor managerial timing, so I still expect Barnes and Albers for now (says this Knebel/Albers/Jeffress owner).finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5
