In the seventh inning of last night's Red Sox-Tigers game, NESN's Dave O'Brien was talking about managers who have pulled a starting pitcher from a game because of a high pitch count, even though the pitcher had not allowed a hit.
I feel robbed as a fan when a manager makes that decision.
Well, Dave, perhaps your feelings aren't the number one priority for that team's manager.
I'd feel robbed as a fan if the short-sighted manager of my favourite team overworked a promising young pitcher, putting him at greater risk for an injury and a possible premature end to his career, all for something that may never happen.
