Or leaving your ace (at the moment) pitcher to hang when he's getting shelled for 9 runs? It just doesn't make any sense. You don't think the Brewers would rather get into the bullpen early? Remind me not to have you manage a ballclub anytime soon... I'm not sure what you're talking about... We're saying it doesn't make sense for the Cardinals to leave their star players in a meaningless game when they're getting shelled. Not because it gives the Cardinals a better chance to win - because it keeps your star players from getting hurt for nothing.
