What are you on about? At the rate this sport is going, we soon ain’t gonna be seeing any nono’s, let alone perfect games. Coaches and managers are too worried about pitch count and injury (which can happen at absolutely any time, such as training) they’d probably take him off if he was after retiring 26 straight too if he was out there starting to look exhausted. Roberts must’ve been outta his mind to even consider taking him off with 80 pitches and 6 outs to go!
But then again... It’s LA. No one’s in their right mind in LA
You are going to let him throw 120 pitches on what is a 3rd spring training outing? Thats the smart thing to do when on a 3 year 90 million dollar contract
Jesus christ.
23 PGs in history. If a guy is on track for one, you let him go for it. Keep the bullpen active and pull him if he blows it, but so long as its a possibility you let him run.
Moneyball is ruining the sport
