Any thoughts on Matsui over Morejon? His work load was not too bad. He had pitched 22 pitches the day before, so maybe that is it? Never sure what the threshold for being available is.
I think you nailed part of it, Morejon's 1.2 IP and 22 pitches the night before nudged towards rest. But it seems like the team still viewed Matsui as the high leverage arm after Estrada and Suarez. At some point Morejon will need to be tested in higher leverage again. And at some point Matsui will need to be demoted if his process doesn't improve.
nice work as always! Would be curious to have you dive into Campy's performance. I've compared his performance to catchers across the league and he's pretty much a bottom 3 starting catcher in MLB so far (league worst defense + below average wRC+ now). Obviously hope he turns it around, but if he doesn't I imagine upgrading at catcher will be a top Preller priority before the deadline.

His process has improved. Morejon also good. Nice solution.
