Lasting relief
Everything is working again in the Wild Things' bullpen.
The arms are healthy, the confidence is back, the saves and scoreless innings are piling up.
It's not the recommended way to get quality results from your bullpen, but after the epic meltdown last Thursday at River City, the Wild Things' relief pitchers have been a group seemingly determined to rebound and erase the memory of that bad night. The bullpen has been a big reason why Washington has won three of its last four games.
The Wild Things' bullpen had the biggest collapse in franchise history when it gave up nine runs in the eighth inning of the 10-6 loss at River City. Since then, Washington's relief pitchers have forged a string of 14 consecutive scoreless innings. The formula for success has been simple. During the scoreless streak, the relievers have combined for 17 strikeouts and only one walk.

M. Bando hits a home run. What ever he has been drinking he should give some to Mark Sanuelson.
I think that M. Bando must be starting his salary drive for 2013.

Bando must have hit one on the Button.
