Yeah, I think he knows that. Just seems a little stupid to be taunting someone whose team is beating the crap out of you.
This move is worst than the one last year in which Bonehead Little didn't pull Pedro in time. I mean you had the crowd out of the game and Lowe had only thrown 69 pitches. It is like Pedro could not stand the fact that the Red Sox are so close to winning this game without him being a part of it. Who runs this team? Pedro?? Francona has some 'splainin to do after this one.
putting in pedro for a 69 pitch, 1 hit through six innings lowe may in fact be the stupidest move in the history of major league baseball. lets see, my starter is cruising, i have a 7 run lead, my star pitcher is great on extra rest for the WS, he is rattled by the yankees, and oh yeah, i'm battling a curse and apparently just wanna tempt it a little. amazing. bellhorn returns things to normal with a monster blast though.
