The Colorado Rockies relied on the Jimmy Herget surveys this season. But last week, he experienced a significant increase in his workload.
After being called from the rocky enclosure for the fourth time in the space of a week, Herget arrived at a press conference with a humorous t-shirt which referred to the state of his launch arm.
After the Colorado victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday, the veteran launcher wore a shirt that said: “My arm hurts.”

Rescue launchers are sometimes called to the mound for consecutive matches, but Herget will probably welcome a little rest after his four appearances over seven days.
Herget has a 2.73 MPM this season and appeared in 44 games.

The Rockies entered the match on Saturday evening against the Diamondbacks at the bottom of the NL West ranking.
