That's why I can't second guess the Hamilton or Latos deals. I liked them at the time.

Command is whether you can get it over the plate. Then you want to control the plate. Then velocity/movement come in as the final determinate.

Pirates are scoring 3 runs a game and have a winning record. Pitching.

The problem is the Pirates have a good bullpen. And even though Burnett is a loser, its not like he has a lot of pressure on him pitching for the Pirates. Plus he's right handed.
Re: Reds vs. Pirates Tuesday 6/5
Dusty was smart to take Homer out, he wasn't right tonight. Don't want to risk injury. Probably last cool night/extended time off start for him to September at least.
Re: Reds vs. Pirates Tuesday 6/5
I wonder if Bailey is hurt (again)? Only 3 innings with a little over 70 pitches.

I concur. No sense in sending Homer back out.

Walker is a good hitter...I'm surprised he's only around .270

Depends. Getting the ball over the plate and then "controlling" the plate are 2 different things.
Re: Reds vs. Pirates Tuesday 6/5
David Cone says its all about recovery time. Give pitchers extra time to recover. He had no problem with Santana throwing a ridiculous number of pitches in the no hitter as long as he is given plenty of time to recover- maybe even miss a start.
Cone says hes a big believer in the Verduci rules but not so much on pitch count as on recovery time. He likes having six starters so as to give each pitcher more rest.
