So a 90 degree day means the starter is only capable of going 4 innings? most of the times no. but this isn't like most other times. Cappy just came off the DL. He only pitched 3 innings in his last start. He had no stamina built up. He got a basehit and was out on the bases for awhile in the heat. He walked that horrible batter because he was dead tired. No mlb pitcher is going to go to his manager and say take me out. That would show a manager you have no guts, and to a guy like ned who wants you to battle, that would be a bad message. So cappy walks the guy, ned comes out to yell at him, but still doesn't get anyone up. Next guy hits one out, still nobody up. By then Cappy can't throw a strike to save his life and Ned is just letting him hang out there. Just horrible. Wise should have been in much sooner than having to face belliard with the bases juiced. The whole situation could have and should have been different. Belliard knows that wise has to throw a strike, sits on the change and crushes it, game over. Ned blew it...Even MLB players get tired and when they get tired they lose command of their pitches. and clearly cappys control was nowhere to be found... just for the record, I wanted Cappy to be PH for. I don't care what the pitch count said, and how that last inning went for him. We were down going into that inning, cappy started losing control the inning before and with that all star break coming up, we could have used the pen.. either way, there were about 20 people in the chat room that were ticked off and there was no excuse for letting cappy rot out there. but hey, thats baseball.
