Meanwhile, Back in the Dodger Bullpen

Why does Bill Russell continue to use Todd Worrell in the ninth inning? Is management forcing his hand? I know it is hard to pay a guy millions of dollars a year to go home and eat pickles and ice cream, but for the team’s sake, eat the money and put some talent in there.

In continuing to rely on Todd Worrell as his closer, Bill Russell would do well to recall one of the definitions of “insanity”: doing the same thing over and over again, but somehow expecting the results to be different.
