But he's at 92 pitches in early April with a 10 run lead.....absolutely no need for him to go back out there.

It is not about the "need". It is about developing a player's mindset and stamina. Cruising with no pressure? Perfect time to do that.

[RpR]

Lets see if Nick can stay above the Gordon line.

While I would have liked Ryan to go one more, I don’t think it’s that much to complain about either. The old days are gonna stay the old days, it seems

[ashbury]

Two innings for Sands?  I dunno, man.  It takes a special breed to pitch the ninth inning.  I say we turn to our proven closer, Pagan.

[IndianaTwin]

IKF begging the ump to check his hands for junk.

They basically say, “Not worth the effort.”

Love it.

"Complain" is your projection. I call it a comment with desire.

I remember Gibson having a good one, only to get jobbed by Rodney on a Sanchez bomb.

Good memory.

April 26th, 2018.

Gibson went 6 innings, 1 hit, 0ER, 3 walks and 10 K's,  95 pitches, he only threw 55 strikes.

Boone pulled Judge and ended his On Base streak.

Joe Ryan had a hand in ending it.

[RpR]

Now watch , Hicks will get a home run.

Aside from not needing to stretch Ryan, it also provides a good opportunity to give Sands some confidence.

How's that working out?

There went the run differntial! 😇

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Almost there...

 

Wait for it...

[IndianaTwin]

Don’t want to say I was confident, but I did have chicken gravy over biscuits a couple hours ago. 

[Puckett34]

[Dave Borton]

Ryan threw 92 pitchers, 75% for strikes. 13 pitches an inning. 10Ks. Smooth Joe.

Off by one.  Knock it off with the jinxes.

But we need to stretch him out.

 

How is anyone going to jinx a complete game if they stop late in the game?

[stringer bell]

Back to a 6 inning average per start for the team. So much for the manager’s supposed eagerness to pull a starter after twice through the lineup.
