Chris Smith’s rise to relative success was extremely unlikely and totally awesome. He doesn’t take anything too seriously.
When asked how he responds to coaching visits to the mound in sticky situations, he told Susan Slusser: “I don’t know! I want to be in the dugout! I don’t want to be here. I want to go home! Bases loaded and no outs, you know?’”
What a guy.
He last pitched four innings in relief against the Giants, during which he unfortunately gave up Ty Blach’s first major league homer. Before that he gave up four runs in five innings, and before that, three runs in six.
