Lewis needed to be pulled, but they had a lefty in the pen and they brought in the righty.
Game. Set. Match.

Not only that, we brought in a righty who grooves 92 mph fastballs right down the middle.

No it was Austin wood. Jungmann was their ace and best pitcher.
Yep, I remember that. He threw 13 innings. He was a dominant reliever up to that point... He was awful after that. They just kept trotting him out there, game after game, and it seemed liked he gave up runs in every outing. Augie Garrido and, as someone else mentioned, Wayne Graham, seemed like they would do anything for a win. No regard for anything but winning.
I'm a huge competitor, but there is a line, and those two crossed it, spat on it, and spray painted graffiti over it.

Wood threw 169 pitches that day.
The day before that, he threw 2 innings and 30 pitches.
The really bad thing with Garrido that was a little unique was how often he would use his starters in relief roles. Chance Ruffin was his ace that year and he made several relief appearances. And with relievers like Wood or J. Brent Cox a few years before, it wasn’t just the innings pitched, it was also the appearances. 44 appearances in a year is brutal for a guy unless maybe they are only situational, match-up type pitchers.
Not to speak ill of the dead but Augie was overrated a-hole. He recruited elite talent but blew out his pitchers for his win total and his small-ball fetish probably kept that program from winning more titles.
