His team bailed him out.

He was on a 60 pitch limit and was taken out at 52 pitches.  Not sure why.  

Yeah, at least let him get to 60 pitches.

Yep, unless they saw something with his stuff, which I am sure with be the excuse.

Be careful.  Rockies tried to do that and it imploded on them big time. 

[nando714]

Duck!

[rafibomb]

Two fucking bloop singles. Taken out with 2-outs after 42 pitches when you're on a 50-60 pitch limit. Fucking ridiculous.

Maddon has been worse than Ausmus with in game managerial decisions thus far. 

I don't think so. Ausmus was the worst I've ever seen. Maddon has just been really bad. But I understand the sentiment 

[southpaw]

Bullpens are so freaking fickle every year. Just wish Maddon would allow the starters to get through the inning.

Read through several pages of this thread. Most of the experts liked the signing.

I feel better about feeling good about the signing, he looked really good out there with his pitch movement

That almost never works.   They need to take whatever failed starters are in the system possessing an out pitch and turn them into RPs...

[AngelsLakersFan]

I was already upset then I had to turn this game on. Now I'm AO mad.

Letting a guy like Pena go didn't help. I understand the idea of not paying for relievers but sometimes the money isn't that much risk.

Yep, there is one guy that hated it.  He isn’t an AW expert or an expert on anything based on how he posted.

I don't wanna go read that again.   So who the "expert" that hated it?

[rafibomb]

upton is done.

52 pitches.

Lefty lefty doesn't mean shit when your lefty sucks ass.

[Vlad27Trout27]

[jonickell25]

It honestly made no sense to take him out there. Let him finish the inning.

[Lou]

I find it funny that you guys think letting Teheran pitch to another batter would have prevented the bullpen from having their inevitable implosion.

Maddon would have just found a different way to be cute while geniusing.

No one you’d remember since I don’t remember him and I was engaged with him in the thread.

*checks box score*

i agree

[Rick paul]

I thought Maddon was a baseball Genius. Again this team is unwatchable. Maddon needs to go and take Upton with him.
