    Up 12-0, you don't need Johnson pitching. In fact, it was for instances like this that Albie Lopez was put on this Earth.

    Pull Randy now, and get him ready for Game 7.

    I was saying this when it was like 6-0! I have a sneaking suspicion they'll let him go 5 to get the win. Who cares about that!

    6th Inning, he's still pitching.

    Bob Brenly is stupid.

    They end up using the bullpen anyway, except now Johnson has thrown too many pitches to be useful in a Game 7. Great move!

    Obviously you people don't understand the Brenly philosophy of leaving your starter in long enough to be leading after 8 innings but then pulling him so he'll be available to go at half strength in the later game you'll have to play because you pulled him.

    Half of Randy Johnson is still damn good.
