In Aquino's defense, he pitched a lot more than he is used to and probably tired out last night. However, an argument against him is that he only has two one inning scoreless appearances on the season. It might be better to bring Cherry or Hoey in once they get healthy, unless Trembley really wants that extra veteran presence in the bullpen. He just doesn't have enough command on his fastball, it almost looks like a curveball sometimes with how wild it is. He earned a spot on the team with the Spring Training he had, but he has just about pitched himself off of the team with his performance thusfar in the regular season. Sorry Skeeter, two good performances sandwiched between all these not so good to horrible outings does not give him a mulligan on the bad performances. Bradford and Walker may have just had a bad game (or in Walker's case, two), but Aquino is the opposite, the good games aren't coming often enough.
