Say what you want about our bullpen isn't reliable etc.... But Bobby v just absolutely refuses to pull pitchers when they are "in trouble"..... I would like to see the stats from our pitchers before they "lost it" by being left in too long

Bard shitted the bed. Hopefully our BP keep us in the game.

 

If bard was pulled after 5 innings ( approaching 100 pitches, visibly tired ) would you still say " he shitted the bed " ?

After tonite we will be 5.5 games behind the Rays.

Sure wish we had a pitching staff as good as the Orioles, who are shutting out the Yankees tonite so far.

You are right. Valentine should have been more active and removed him when he first got into trouble. Part of this loss is on Valentine.

Meanwhile the Rays are having outfielders of opposing teams leap up and knock the ball over the fence for them.

Really now? I'll remind you of this as soon as the O's start getting hammered. Prepare the backpedal machine right now.

How many innings do you expect at least from your starter? 5?

It was hard to conceal my disgust for the Yankmees there........

Don't get me wrong.... I don't think you should pull a pitcher every time they get in a little bit of trouble ..... But Bobby always waits too long...

And I will quote you the stats as they were when I made that statement.

Stats are a bitch, eh?

Bro, if you don't know how to/what to use stats for, don't.

Its a fine line. Pull the SP too soon and the pen gets burned out. Pull him too late and the team loses. In a close game like this I pull him sooner, not later. Valentine waited too long tonite.

I promise not to use any irrelevant stats. OK?
