[Mark68]

[HeavenlyHalos]

Good job Escobar 

You were saying Troll Dummy?

[Chuck]

If we lose this game by a run or two I'm looking at you Pujols. 

[Broad Street]

Rendon is 6-6 3 hr 10 RBIs 5 runs... Jesus...

[Mark68]

Ramirez Ks 4 in a row, then walks one and gets yanked.

If Alvarez blows chunks and they lose the game, that's on Sosh.

Agreed, it is an odd decision.

x2. He's been up twice with the bases loaded and struck out twice. Not even close.

[tdawg87]

What was Ramirez' pitch count?

Mid 80s I think.

[HeavenlyHalos]

I believe it was at 91.

[Mark68]

It was 91.

[Chuck]

Too quick of a hook there on JC Ramirez? 

He was under 100 pitches and striking everyone and their mom's out.

[Glen]

Whew.

[Troll Daddy]

F'n Scioscia 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Nice defensive alignment!

[tdawg87]

Sosh is a jeanyes.

Richards is hurt and on the shelf..   Skaggs is dinged up and on the shelf...    

It's April 30, the season has five more months still.   In his 110 apperances as a RP his pitch high was 43.   In his previous start, his 3rd, he threw 92 pitches...  He was at 91 and the game is in Texas.

If Ramirez, a career RP in his fourth MLB start gets hurt..   who would it be on?   

Sosh, right?

In both Richards' & Skaggs' cases, their injuries had zero to do with how many pitches they threw. Zip. Zilch. Nada. In both cases, we have already fragile pitchers, both had sprained UCLs, one had surgery, the other didn't. They have very little to do with whether Ramirez should have been pulled.

Ramirez threw 92 pitches in his last start. He was at 91 this time. He should have been able to get thru one more batter. Who knows...he could have induced a double play ball and gotten thru the inning without throwing many more pitches.

Or, the next hitter could have gotten on base, in which case, Sosh certainly would have been justified in getting him out of there. 

It worked this time, but it could have gone very badly. Especially when you consider all the bullpen injuries and how few reliable relievers there are.
