You can't have all your relievers be total batter-killers. There are plenty of teams where the guys they summon in the 7th, 8th and 9th make you feel like Thompson does for us.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-40669">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I don’t have a problem w/ Thompson…by their nature long-relievers aren’t really the type to intimidate the opposition, since they’re generally coming on in a situation like last night.

Wells was falling behind on batters, just missing his spots. The calls seemed OK, a bit tight. The ump had a very narrow zone but a very low one that definitely favored Lowe vs. Wells. Two GIDP with the bases loaded. Bad situational hitting, bad luck. Thompson breaks the streak. Ironic that he was the only reliever willing to talk about the streak to the press. I am starting to wonder about Mr. Thompson's place on the staff. He has been pretty shaky in his outings, and the whole reason to have him in long relief, which was last night, and he kind of sucked. Not sure who would take his place in long relief if they bounced him, but I don't get that "yeah, take that" feeling when he walks to the mound. We just got spanked. Not a single extra base hit for us; I think that is indicative of the pitching. Lowe was very much on, which he always seems to be against SD.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-40668">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Yucky.
