Probably not a great idea to force Oswalt into throwing over 100 with his injury history and it being his first start but Ron Washington strikes me as a jackass so I can't say I'm surprised. Franklins pitch count has been just fine in his 2 starts.
You're insane if you think Ben would go for loney. I know you have a hard on for cherington bashing but the man wouldnt make such a incomprehensibly stupid move.
We have a 3 run lead with a solid starter going and dominant pen with 9 outs to get. Crazier things have happened but we're still in the driver's seat.
