It seems like Santiago is on a short leash

I really loving how Conger is calling this game for Santiago tonight.

And it feels like Conger is getting him some extra strikes.

Seems like a lot of you guys were wrong about Santiago.

Santiago and others in the rotation (Skaggs and maybe Richards -- although Richards is really coming on and improving with each start it seems) are on a short leash.......

 

that's why we really need a middle inning pen guy who can provide consistent quality outings -- providing that bridge in the sixth and seventh inning to the set up guy (Smith) and the closer (Freiri - spelled wrong - I will never be able to get his name right).........

I hope that I am proven wrong about Santiago -- but if you check his career stats -- minor and major leagues -- we're asking a lot of him to be a rotation guy.

Tonight, especially getting the pop out against Reddick after a 3-0 count will give Sosh some more faith in him. What a great start tonight.
