This question really has me dumbfounded. The answer really is because either AA mandated that Tomlin be on the team and Snitker is enough of a mouse to go along with it, or AA and Snitker decided together that Tomlin should be on the team. Either way there’s no defending Snitker over it. It’s not like it’s a gray area. Tomlin is a disaster. The only possible use for him would be as an inning eater in games where we were getting blown out. NEVER when we’re ahead, even if it’s 100 runs. But why even waste a roster spot for that? Having a pitcher who is your ten runs ahead or ten runs behind guy has never made sense to me. Those games do exist a fair amount, and have you seen the depth in MLB pitching across the league? A lot of teams have guys like that as their 5th starter.

Fried at 58 (41) pitches after 5 and also now qualifies for a "W". 3 Hits, 2 K's, 0 walks, 0 runs
Excellent

We need some runs. If this guy gets through this inning without giving up any earned runs he'll get credit for a quality start.

Best thing I can say about Akin is he lowered his era, maybe, depending on what happens the rest of the inning.

I hate "productive outs"...
They are still an out.
It's like kissing the slightly less ugly girl.

See... productive out didn't do crap other than give you one less chance.
Joc hasn't done much lately. Seemed he was better when we were playing him every day.

3 off that guy feels like a bit of a disappointment. Terrible pitcher looked great besides the 2 pitches that left the confines of the outfield wall.
