Angels broadcasters are split on decision to pull Rich Hill from perfect game

Angels broadcasters Mark Langston and Mark Gubicza, both former big league pitchers, had a spirited debate about Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts’ controversial decision to pull Rich Hill from a perfect game in which the left-hander threw 89 pitches in seven innings on Saturday night in Miami

“It was the right call,” Langston said before Sunday’s game. “The guy just came off the disabled list. He could have thrown 120 pitches. Would you be OK with that?”

Gubicza would.

“Eighty-nine pitches? He has to be in there, man,” Gubicza said. “If he had 100-something pitches, I could almost live with it, but 89 in seven innings?
