The casual sports fan knew Freshcorn was done.
Our head coach is the only one who didn't.
He got greedy, thought he could squeeze this last inning out of him
In his defense we have no one better. None.
But yeah, he was toast.
Reminds me of a Nolan Ryan story. I think it was Bobby V. that came to the mound, late in a game, to pull Ryan. Ryan asked what are you doing out here? Bobby V. said, you look tired. Nolan said I am, but I'm still better than anything you're bringing out of the pen. Bobby just walked back to the dugout.
Baseball more than any other sport is a game of inches. Could have worked out perfectly, just didn't this time.
