I didn't see last night's game - it wasn't on Extra Innings - and that's probably a good thing, the price of aneurysms being what it is. Frankie's inexplicable (*coughwinterball*) recent loss of velocity and command have become something of a trend; even during Monday's win he seemed more lucky than good. Although at first I thought that Ervin Santana had little chance of retaining his rotation slot when Escobar is ready to come back, it seems the Esky-to-the-bullpen momentum is growing stronger with every free pass Rodriguez issues.
