Geez.

Why not have him pitch to Stallings instead of Perez. Time to help a pitcher out in his first major league game.

Yeah, the ump missed a couple of perfect strikes. But Perez's off target throw on the SB attempt was perfect to catch the runner sliding into the tag before he got to the bag.

An impressive start so far. Does give hope.

for first start it might be better to have Perez since he speaks Spanish. I know Stallings is a gold glove candidate but is he significantly better than Perez? (who I don't expect to be back next year - his bat has just been too bad no matter how good he is defensively).

I am sure that has a lot to do with it
