He was at 88 pitches?  wtf

 

 

Sorry but Jose should've started this inning. Friggin' 88 pitches. 

 

 

Scoring w/ RISP!!! Wooohoooo

 

 

Bad move. Had another 17 pitches left, or another inning. It's like oh you're giving the Pirates a shot 

 

 

i agree 100% with don's decision. Did I miss anything else while i was out?

 

 

I wonder if that 3rd run changed Mattingly's mind.

 

 

Phelps throwing 97.

Preston's smart comments

 

 

esp if some of you guys really think this team has a shot at a wild card, Don shaving an inning here and an inning there from Jose really adds up

 

 

Hurry up and win so I can fantasize about Mariel Hemingway

Fernandez had 88 pitches and was dominating. The team has less a shot to make the wildcard if we lose games like this. Fernandez gave us a better chance to win and only had 88 pitches. 

 

 

A lot of confidence in Phelps and Ramos so I like Mattingly getting Jose out.

88 pitches doesnt matter. 180 innings matters. Jose won't go one over that 180 #. Phelps & Ramos are shut down RPs 

 

 

a Chris Johnson sighting

I hope that isn't the metric. If so its idiotic. Not all innings are created equal.

It's not a metric it's what Boras and the marlins FO agreed to before the season

To sports agents they are created equal. I guarantee you Boras won't let Jose go over that number.

They did with Harvey last year too. Those things can change if need be.

big big difference b/t the harvey situation and jose's. He won't go over 180.

Rich Waltz got yer back

 

 

Rich is reading my comments. Even used the word "shave" lol

 

 

now why don pulls chen when he does is another story

 

 

Damn baseball has really become idiotic with the inning count nonsense. So 5 innings 118 pitches is somehow "better" for his arm than 9 innings 102 pitches.

it is quite non sensical but Don is working with what he has to work with and our only SP who is actually good (great)

 

 

I think Scott Boras sure as hell knows the difference between a stressful inning and a non stressful inning but those aren't measurable objectively so plain old number of innings is what they agreed on.
