12 hits, 4 walks, 11 runs and 9 LOB.After the score hit 8-0, I notice the guys stopped being aggressive on the bases (except Morgan Ensberg, who stretched a single into a double by being heads up and sliding into second because Freddy Sanchez, the Pirate second baseman, wasn't paying attention to either Ensberg or Jason Lane, replica Tissot T60.1.527.52 Men's watch who stood like a rock at third.) I wonder if this isn't the old ridiculous “unwritten rules” about how far ahead you “allowed” to go which need to go straight into the incinerator remember this is the self same night that St.Louis scored 7 runs with 1 out in the 9th to win the game.
It seems to me that the new pitching policy is that starters are going to be sent out until they are well over 100 pitches, can barely get the ball over the plate and have given up runs have men on base with no outs, etc.Andy Pettitte had freaking elbow replica Tissot T52.2.481.31 Men's watch surgery last summer and was leading 8-0 after the 7th.He had thrown 95 pitches already.WHY was he sent back out there? Does Garner and Hickey (pitching coach) actually think that the bullpen can't hold a 8 run lead? He BARELY got out Cota and Hill, then walked Amezega.Here we are at 105 pitches.Hickey goes to the mound.
Why ASK a macho man if he can get the next guy out? Talk about a stupid question.So Tike Redman sends the second pitch into the right field stands Jason Lane didn't even bother to move.I had heard horror stories about Garner fragging arms and I'm replica Tissot T30.1.485.12 Men's watch beginning to see what people talking about.We don't have the best bullpen in the majors, but I think they could hold an 8 run lead against a last place team.These starters are gonna be worn down by the end of August.
