no. throw away the results of the bullpen. i am arguing that removing Price after 5 innings with only 73 pitches and 1 Earned Run was stupid.
whatever happened after that isnt my point. the fact of actually removing a "Ace" starter after 5ip / 73 pitches 5 days after he only threw 49 pitches is....negligent.
so we are paying $31MM for a 70 pitch limit pitcher? you are OK with this? you have more faith in Shawaryn pitching the 6th then David Price with 73 pitches??
agreed...7 innings is what he probably would have went. push those 0 runs from the relievers out another 2 innings.
even if we dont do that....why are we defending pulling our $31MM starter after 73 pitches vs a top tier opponent when he has only given up 1 run???
if by "preventive measure" you mean preventing a W for our team then yes. agreed.
but to pull him at 73 pitches in a game where he only has given up 1 run so far because he had nothing 5 days prior is just asinine.
come on bell. he was coming off a game where he only threw 49 pitches. and now we are pulling him at 73 pitches in a tie game vs one of the best hitting teams in the league? thats a freaking terrible job by the manager.
I don’t think you should say guinea on tv when your last name doesn’t end in a vowel...just bad form
Now if she said leprechaun, Mc, or paddywagon that would be perfectly OK.
