recap says wandy has given up a run or less in 11 of his last 13 starts! "holy fucking shit, what a streak!" i think to myself. then i see the box says that wandy threw 85 pitches tonight??? and he was pulled for wesley wright??? WTF???
"As far as Wandy, I thought he was terrific again," Houston manager Cecil Cooper said. "Just a little bit of shoulder fatigue, so we thought it was best to take him out. I thought he was sharp, he threw the ball well and had a good breaking ball tonight. He was his usual self. He was efficient and could have gone back out, but he said he was a little fatigued in the arm, and we decided to take him out."Rodriguez said he told pitching coach Dewey Robinson he didn't want to come back out and pitch the eighth inning because he didn't have zip on his fastball."I said, 'No,' because I was tired," Rodriguez said. "I felt my arm was strong. I didn't feel sore. I threw a lot of breaking balls all game, but the last inning I threw more. When I threw my fastball, I didn't have the pop on it."
Wandy has really matured into a smarter pitcher.
Sometimes 85 pitches is all you have on a given day. There's no magic number, high or low.
No, no, no, he was obviously pulled because Cooper is an idiot.
I don't know that this move proves Coop isn't an idiot. This is following the "even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut" thought process.
It doesn't prove anything. It was more of a comment about the thought process of most.
I am so jaded on Cooper that he could correctly predict an entire hurricane season, and I would find fault.
Well, many would find a way to blame Coop as the *cause* of the hurricanes.
no way. after the first one, he would let us know that it would never happen again.
hudson-- big gigantic fuck you for sticking up for coop in any any any way. i could say he's at fault for that chick who gots kitnappt in antioch and it would be justified because of all the shit he has flung the way of us loyal semi-educated baseball fanz.
Coop wrote the prequels for George Lucas.

Cooper was responsible for canceling Deadwood.
...and green-lighting John from Cincinnati in its place.
Cooper is like rain on your wedding day. Like a free ride, when you've already paid.
Cooper thought Milli Vanilli were pretty good singers.
At least a little bit.
He also suggested using hydrogen in the Hindenburg: "I guarantee nothing will go wrong".
...and afterwards, "It will never happen again"
