...duress had nothing to do with it, like I said, it was probably by design...please explain what freaking advantage there was to keep Seve out there any longer?
...the BP wasn't under duress either and Betances, Robertson, and Chapman need to stay sharp too...it's not like they won't be available tonight if need be.
...and I don't know where you get this "babying pitchers" stuff from...these youngsters are throwing nearly 10 mph faster than pitchers were several years ago...hence all the TJ surgeries so you can't simply allow them to throw unlimited pitches. Sorry Al, but the game has changed and pitchers are simply not required or expected to finish the game which is why the BP is designed to pick up the slack. It's a very long season and we don't need Seve to we worn out come October.
...and aren't you the one who about a week ago, was questioning people for complaining after a WIN?...we fucking won 11-1 last night, why are you complaining?
