sleepyj. It seems to me when these MLB teams started taking starting pitchers out after 5 innings or 100 pitches, (not referring to this Boston game tonight) but in general, this game has changed for the worse. I have lost more games with a one run lead after a manager took a starter out after 5 innings for no good reason. I lost, the starter lost, the team lost and the fans lost. The only winners were the bookmakers. Your thoughts?
