And it colors his politics, giving him a darker view of life than those of his colleagues with cleaner fingernails...
...working a lot of guys in that spot,” Walsh says. “We may go with throwing five guys two innings. I’ve done it before, it’s worked. Just throwing it out there until we get somebody that can catch on fire.”One pitcher who could catch on fire at any moment is junior Adam Cole.
