Bridge taking ‘reliever’ role in stride
In baseball when the starter is struggling, the manager turns to the bullpen to get the game back on track.
Consider Brandon Bridge the Roughriders’ bullpen.
It was a comment made by Roughriders head coach Chris Jones during the post-game interview in Toronto on Saturday that seems to have stuck. And it doesn’t bother Bridge any.
“I’ll definitely take that in stride. I mean, (baseball pitcher) Pedro Martinez was very well known for that … he actually won a world series or two, I actually don’t mind that,” Bridge said after Tuesday practice.
