Oh, for sure. He was probably done if Castellanos drew a walk or got a hit. Neris or Abreu comes in for the 6th.
Lol has there ever been a time when an entire fanbase wanted a unanimous Cy Young award winner pulled after 5 innings of 1 run ball? Yes..pull em!
if we get an insurance run, not opposed to sending JV back out there with a super short leash otherwise, definitely not, he can give up HRs
Way to nut up, JV! Couldn't have asked more of him. He labored, but he got us through 5 with the lead.
Also in 1884, the team changed its name to the "Philadelphians", as it was common for baseball teams in that era to be named after their cities (for instance, the "Bostons" and "New Yorks").
Imagine if our bullpen shuts them down for the next 4 innings and we head home up 3-2 in the series...
