The FO gets plenty of heat too. I won’t blame rocco for putting together a terrible bullpen, just like I wouldn’t blame the FO for not having someone come in to the game in that 9th inning. Both can shoulder the blame
I’d take either over a gassed Pagan. I didn’t have a problem bringing him back out in light of the reason you mentioned, but it’s wild that neither (or anyone else) was ready.
