...and the game thread at MC noticed it too...RRS was throwing too many offspeed pitches to right handed batters and REFUSING to come inside.  When he was pitching well in 2007, he came inside to righties with his fastball and fooled them with his change up away, but he wasn't able to get his fastball in there last night and the Indians were able to lean out over the plate and drill his change-up.
I think RRS, like Olson, is best utilized as a lefty specialist.  No lefties had good swings on him even in the April game when he was terrible.  He's not carrying a huge career split but I still believe if deployed as a lefty middle reliever, he can be a potent weapon.
