They both suck, so it’s really hard to choose one over the other. Either is defensible, though. At least Snyder can strike people out.
I like Taverez for the ground ball although Snyder has shown in the past that he can eat some innings. Last year he had games where he would start, get through 4 innings then crap out. Middle relief is supposed to either keep you in the game or clean up the mess so the rest of the pen doesn’t wind up pitching in games like last night. Frankly I think Corey deserved the nod based solely on performance but Tito is always loyal to his guys first.
