I think so, I like it anyway, Mcbride has pitched good in the past but here of late has not been impressive to say the least, Ledezma seems to have a lot of potential..

McBride loves to give up 5 runs in one inning out of the bullpen. Here, have a home run...walk the bases loaded... then give up a bases clearing triple...sweet...Braves lose. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Could he be worse than Buddy Carlyle? I have seen some bad ones over the years, but he takes the cake. Homer, double, somehow struck out Ortiz, double, walk, homer-that's his first inning against the Red Sox.
