Jonathan Broxton Comes Clean

To being tired that is. From Dylan Hernandez...

Jonathan Broxton acknowledged that the wear and tear of the season is taking its toll on his mind and body.

"We've played 120 games already," Broxton said. "You travel around. You pitch three nights in a row. You pitch four out of six days. It starts wearing on you."

Maybe Broxton's struggles the last few weeks resulted more from a tired arm than a busted toe. Perhaps a lighter pitching schedule over the next two weeks could do him some good. With a crucial series against the Rockies coming up next however, a slight reprieve isn't likely to come anytime soon. Hang in there big boy.
