even if you pull him early, we're probably going to lose this game. if we have to win 3 in a row, we're going to need a rested bullpen. Mr. Red-Ass is an easy scapegoat, but pitching hasn't been the issue this entire series
Yeah, through 3 innings he's only given up 3 hard hit balls, and 2 of them have arguably come on strike 4. I'm okay forfeiting one of the 21 outs remaining so that the bullpen doesn't need to get 18 in the midst of 3 games in 3 days. And his defense has let him down big time
