Before this goes any further, I want to point out that there is a middle ground here. Albers was a rookie pitching his first MLB game. When Gardie came out to pull him, Albers respected the manager's decision. It was a close game and the team wanted to win, and Gardie might have also considered pulling Albers to avoid the risk of him getting shelled. All of this is completely consistent with Albers having normal or above normal sized testicles. As for whether Gardie's decision was a good one, there have been persuasive arguments on both sides and such debate of peripheral but related topics does not violate TD policy so long as it is rational and respectful. However, I agree with John and Brock that there is no basis for putting this on Albers -- he was honest in admitting that he was gassed and he respected his manager's decision. Let's try to tone down the drama in this thread. I feel that h2o was somewhat inflammatory in questioning Albers balls, but I am hopeful that h2o will rationally and respectfully respond to my theory that Albers did everything that he should have done under the circumstances and Albers' conduct says nothing about the size of his balls.
