I thought Westburg couldn't play third?

2 down, 1 to go.

Never thought of that.  Thats a good point.  MLB would rather this idea not get out.  They could come up with a reason to fire him.  Or just demote him to the NY office on replays.

knew he wouldn't get us 5...still need more runs...Im not sold on Tate either...

[Tony-OH]

Sorry, two outs and a guy on first, that's a d!ck move to take out Irvin in 4-2 game one out from the win.

[dystopia]

Irvin was better against Boston but results were worse.

It's bushleague move by Hyde. Irvin was at 82 pitches and pitching pretty decent overall. 

Hyde was on autopilot. SIGBOT says Irvin can only go two times through an order so no matter what, he pulls him.

It's damn BS.

And it was ridiculed at the time, though understandably so.  

I didn't understand the ridicule.  Seemed like a good dice roll as a LHH at PPACY in a post-shift game.

That's probably why Irvin was shaking his head walking to the dugout.

[Tony-OH]

I don't blamed Irvin being pissed.

At some point it's going to happen.

Jeffers has been wearing him out. It's the only reason I can think of.

100%. No way that should happen. That is a 100% SIGBOT era pitch change. No feel for the player or the team by taking a starter out here.

[Billy F-Face3]

He was going to take his bat and go home.

Should be a pitch clock violation on the batter.

[Gurgi]

God I hope we dont start a fight.  Our players are more valuable than their players.
