    Maybe one out too early.

    He would have been able to pitch a full 8 today if he didn't throw an excessive 116 pitches last game.

    This is exactly the kind of game where you pull him early

    Hinch had already let him start and get the first two hitters. If Keuchel gave up another hit after the the hit he allowed then yes go ahead and take him out but he could have given him a chance to get that next batter after the hit. Gregerson came in shaky but got out of it without too much damage thankfully.

    McCann and Gattis should switch uniforms one day and see if anyone notices.

    They should both go fu-manchu on the same day.

    eta: but only if they both are in a slump

    And while we're at it, Gurriel and Correa should switch lineup spots

    I thought Gattis was toying with switch hitting earlier today. Seriously.

    Pretty much the exact situation as his last start. So why is this "exactly the kind of game where you pull him early" and the last game wasn't? Also going 7 2/3 is early?

    Why just 8 joe joe? Why not let him go the distance? I mean he only had 116 pitches last game.

    it was an absolutely moronic decision to pull him with two outs and a runner on first. We have seen him REPEATEDLY given the opportunity to work out of higher leverage situations in late innings.

    Hinch put a run on DK's era. unwarranted bad, awful, terrible decision.

    So now gregerson has cost DK a win, and an ER.

    Is it just me or does Jed Lowrie's batting helmet look about three sizes too big?
