It's just what happens now (especially with all the pitchers on the staffs atm). Keller was awesome this game and that's really all that matters for the Pirates in this one.
I believe Woodruff was pulled because he reached 95 pitches. They no doubt did not want him to go over 100 and preferred not to make the change in the middle of the next inning rather than letting the reliever begin the inning. That's understandable. So l didn't say it was a bad move. Keller was going strong at 75 pitches and needs a confidence boost rather than being treated like he can't be trusted to go further. So, yes, I think that was a bad move and said so.

An excellent way to show Keller he was lucky to make it this far and they have no faith in him if he goes further. So after a strong start, he can carry a lack of confidence into his next game, knowing that no matter how well he was doing today, they didn't trust him to go any further than 5.1 innings. Good job, Shelton.
Why not have Chavis pinch hit instead of Perez ?

Looks like we're going to have to initiate a no pee policy.

Miller Park or whatever it is called now continues to be “The House of Pain”
