So this started August 26th in St. Louis, he was taken out of his next start on September 1st and then Yost allowed him to pitch a complete game with 120 pitches and then 113 pitches in his next outing. What sense does that make? If you knew he was still having problems with his elbow why would you send him out for that many pitches?
No. Assume that a guy pitches 150 innings and gives up 54 earned runs, that's a 3.24 ERA. Then the replacement gives up 28 earned runs in 50 innings for a 5.04 ERA. 54 + 28 = 82, 82 x 9 =738, 738 / 200 = 3.69
Haha, gameday says Ryan Braun walked. Even gameday got confused by Joe West. Edit: Okay, he did walk, but it took 7 pitches, gameday had it at pitches. Edit 2: PRINCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
