The announcers brought up a good point, if they know he is sitting after 110 major league IP then why leave him in there with a 5 run lead in the sixth?
From: bismotwitter on 21 Jul 2010 22:24 @JTibbs: I'm not a fan of the whole innings limit thing, but since they're doing it regardless, taking him out after 5 makes sense.
From: bismotwitter on 21 Jul 2010 22:25 @JTibbs: I do wonder, perhaps, if the Nats wanted to see how Stephen would handle sitting for a while and pitching with a rare big lead?

No one knew he'd explode, of course. I wonder what they were planning on doing with him last year. Also, he only made $2.4M last year and from what I remember they were no where near the limit. Change of heart this year I guess as they announced they'll go over the limit for the right player. |
