i still like benoit

but hes obviously struggling so you have to use him intelligently.

5th inning or not, that was the important situation in the game not the 7th inning with nobody out or whenever you might use someone else.

But I’m not hearing any announcers, for English or Spanish, just the sounds of the ballpark.

Anyone else having this issue? Apologies if it’s been covered in the old thread.

the back of the bullpen is tired or injured

its only the 6th inning. not a lot of options this early in the game.

hated him coming in with the bases loaded which could decide the game right there, but i thinky ou have to take your chances in the 6th with noone on.

That’s my guess on why he said that

Courtesy wash:
The common practice of men, where after using a public restroom, instead of actually washing their hands, they simply slightly dampen them under the sink and then dry them on the pants or a paper towel. Thus giving the illusion that they did in fact wash their hands.
