Bear, I'm sorry but you are just way off here. Fassero did have great defense behind him but that's part of it. He threw strikes and didn't walk anyone. Out of the 46 pitches he threw, 30 were strikes. He handled the big hitters so well. He gave up back to back homers but otherwise wasn't really hit that hard and solo shots don't hurt ya. Feliz and Vizquel did well to help him out but Fassero with no notice that he was pitching did fantastic and that's his role, long reliever.
