Raley warming up in the pen

Story check/foul 0-1, fouls a high FB 0-2, Ks swinging on high cheese

Dusty makes the call to the pen.

Raley to face Blackmon.

I really feel like Dusty needs someone to remind him at the beginning of every inning that warming someone up in the pen is allowed at any point and not just after your pitcher is in trouble.

He’s been warming for 30 seconds.

That won’t even get a gas station burrito warm.

Man, Toro’d been smacking the shit out of the ball with not much to show for it lately. That had to feel good.

Conversely: Strom is definitively out ahead in the mound visits competition today.
