when you're a slave to pitch counts...managers talk about gut, but they will not use judgment to let a starter go a little deeper depending on the situation. Castillo was cruising, three straight low stress innings, two stress innings all game, LEAVE HIM IN.

Can Hembree pitch again tonight?

When did Gant go to the pen?

And Bell would get hung by media by fans by everyone if one of the top 4 starters went down with injury. If he let them throw 120 plus pitches. Not how baseball is played anymore. You can disagree with it but those are facts. 60 games last year. No manager is going to let guys throw 120 pitches. They just aren't.

I agree but I think managers are way too obsessed with PC anyway. He had a lot of easy now stress pitches tonight and think he was find another inning. Plus, leaving the starter in you eliminate the 3 batter deal so if he clearly has lost it you can yank him. Then again, Brach clearly had nothing and Bell didn't care so probably irrelevant.

Just unreal no-one gets Shogo to stay in the fricken box instead of bailing out on every. single. swing.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
