Well then why bother to pull him now? Concede the game, go out there and tell him he’s got to take his lumps.

No, that’s not logical.
 

Hyde was engaging in wishful thinking without being aware of his starters limits or trends, and he wasn’t prepared. That’s on him.

 

He doesn’t want to overextend Kremer that’s why.
 

It’s completely logical. I don’t think you will ever budge on this.....

Nice cutoff Santander! Saved a run.

These strike zones are driving me insane

I'm afraid this one is over, boys.  three runs is too big of a hill for this team to climb.  Another loss to the Yanks.

Continuation of what we saw this spring. He has the stuff. That’s not the question. 

Agreed, his command all spring was not great either.

[scOtt]

End of it. Only 3-0. We have a chance

...

[eddie83]

I’ll be that person. This game feels over. Hope we can scratch some runs soon.

It was slow with a long arm action. He'll need to quicken that up to get those close DPs.

Just watched it again. You’re right.

Fifth game of a long season. You can't blow a BP out in the first month.

If your starters are throwing 85 pitches in three innings, you need different starters. It is ridiculously inaccurate to suggest that pulling a guy early in the game, when it’s obvious that he doesn’t have it today, is going to send your pen to the hospital.

Besides, you’re going to be bringing the guy in anyway. The only difference is the number of guys on base when you bring him in: somebody still has to throw the innings, so you’re not saving the bullpen at all. You are actually making things worse by letting your failed starter throw 10 more useless pitches.

I thought umps were good in Boston and thought maybe they been practicing but this series in New York back to old ways.

He doesn’t want to overextend Kremer, and so he let him walk the bases-loaded with nobody out? That doesn’t make any sense. 
As I said in the other comment, somebody has to throw the innings anyway.

That and Judge was dogging it. If he's running hard on 3-2 he should have scored easily. That's two plays he's dogged it on this game.

[scOtt]

NEVER give up!

West was not good at all in the opener. After that they were OK.
