I notice that Farrell is taking out his starter before the game is over....something Acta needs to do. If you starter blows...get his ass out of there. Don't wait for 9 runs to cross the plate like he did with Fausto the other night.
Its a tough situation. You play to win every game, but managers are paid big dollars to keep in mind that this is a marathon and not a sprint. I think if that was a playoff game, Acta would have pulled the hook on him much earlier. A wore out bullpen than can't get anyone out is much more frustrating to deal with than a poor start.
